How do you convert the Cartesian coordinates (1 , sqrt(3)) to polar coordinates? Precalculus Polar Coordinates Converting Coordinates from Rectangular to Polar 1 Answer Leland Adriano Alejandro Feb 16, 2016 #r=2# and #theta=pi/3# OR simply #(2, pi/3)# Explanation: give #x=1# and #y=sqrt3# #r=sqrt(x^2+y^2)=sqrt(1^2+sqrt3^2)=sqrt4=2# #theta=tan^-1(y/x)=tan^-1(sqrt3/1)=pi/3# God bless America !!!
