How do you write #3=rcos(theta-60)# in rectangular form? Trigonometry The Polar System Converting Between Systems 1 Answer A. S. Adikesavan Nov 29, 2016 #x+sqrt3y=6# Explanation: The conversion formula is #r ( cos theta, sin theta ) = ( x, y )# Here, #3 =r(cos theta cos 60^o+sin theta sin 60^0)# #=1/2(r cos theta) +sqrt 3/2(r sin theta )# #=1/2(x+sqrt3 y)# Answer link Related questions How do you convert rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates?
