$vec V ((1.93),(0.52)), tan theta = 0.27$

enter image source here

$r = 2, theta = pi/12$

$x = r cos theta = 2 * cos (pi/12) = color(red)(1.93$

$y = r sin theta = 2 * sin (pi/12) = color (purple)(0.52)$

$tan theta = y / x = = tan (pi/12) = 0.27$

What are the components of the vector between the origin and the polar coordinate (2, pi/12)(2, pi/12)?
