Rectangular coordinates are # (7 sqrt 2)/2, (7 sqrt 2)/2#

Explanation:

Polar coordinate is #r= 7 , theta = 9/4 pi=(2 pi+pi/4) = pi/4#

Rectangular coordinates are #(r cos theta, r sin theta)# or

#(7 cos (pi/4), 7 sin (pi/4)) = 7/sqrt 2 , 7/sqrt 2 #

# = (7 sqrt 2)/2, (7 sqrt 2)/2#

Rectangular coordinates are # (7 sqrt 2)/2, (7 sqrt 2)/2# [Ans]
