Cartesian Coordinates: These coordinates describe the location of a point on a graph using x and y values, originating from a center point (0,0) on a 2D plane.
Polar Coordinates: These describe a point based on its distance (radius) from the origin and the angle (θ) it makes with the positive x-axis. Polar coordinates are commonly used in navigation and scenarios requiring radial measurements.
Polar coordinates are used in navigation, physics, and engineering to describe points using an angle and radius, which can simplify calculations in circular or radial systems.
(r, θ+2πn) or (-r, θ+(2n+1)π), where n is an integer. The value of θ is positive if measured counterclockwise and negative if measured clockwise.
