Answer 2

The Cartesian system locates points on a plane by measuring the horizontal and vertical distances from an arbitrary origin to a point. These are usually denoted as a pair of values (X,Y).

The Polar system locates the point by measuring the straight line distance, usually denoted by R, from the origin to the point and the angle of an imaginary line from the origin to the point, q, (Greek letter Theta), measured counterclockwise from the positive X axis.

Answer 3

Cartesian uses (X,Y) points
Polar uses (r,theta) 1 radius, and an angle theta going counter clockwise where if looking at a clock starting a 3 begin 0 going to 12(90deg) 9(180) 6(270) 3(0,360 deg)

Answer 4

Cartesian uses x & y coords, while polar uses theta & r.

Isn't this a math question?

Answer 5

they spell different. cartesian and polar. ha ha
