Retain radian mode on the calculator and calculate the sine of
30¡. Change the calculator to degree mode and find the sine
of p / 6 radians.
Rectangular to polar
d R³´P
d! displays the R³´P menu, which has functions for
converting coordinates between rectangular (x,y) and polar
(r,q) format. Set Angle mode, as necessary, before starting
calculations.
Example
Convert polar coordinates (r, q)=(5, 30) into rectangular
coordinates. Then convert rectangular coordinates
(x, y) = (3, 4) into polar coordinates. Round the results to one
decimal place.
