Answer:

(1.5,-2.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polar coordinates (-3,60°).

Let our Cartesian coordinates be (x,y)

#We know that when converting the rectangular coordinates (x,y) to polar (r,θ), then:

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\\therefore r^2=x^2+y^2\\\\\theta=tan^{-1}(y/x)\\\therefore tan \theta=y/x

#Using the illustration above, we can express our polar coordinates as:

-3=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\-60\textdegree=tan^{-1}(y/x}

#Solve simultaneously to solve for x and y:

(-3)^2=x^2+y^2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ i\\\\tan(-0\texdegree)=y/x\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...ii\\\\y=x\ tan(-60\textdegree)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...iii\\\\\#substitute\  y \ in\  i\\\\(-3)^2=x^2+(x \ tan (-60\textdegree))^2\\\\9=x^2+3x^2\\\\x=\sqrt{9/4}=1.5\\\\y=1.5\ tan(-60\textdegree)=-2.5981\approx-2.6

Hence, the Cartesian coordinates are (1.5,-2.6)

In a triangle, the measure of the first angle is twice the measure of the second angle. The measure of third angle os 88 degrees
Volgvan

Answer:

Answers: 46, 23, and 111

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer, we need to know the angles. Therefore, give each angle a name. Angle 1 will be x, 2 will be y, 3 will be z. So, using this system of equations:

x=2y

z=y+88

x+y+z=180

Substituting, z = 1/2(x)+88, now plug z into the third equation:

x+1/2(x)+1/2(x)+88=180

this simplifies to 2x+88=180

subtracting 88 from both sides leaves 2x=92

x=46

plug this in to the first equation: 46 = 2y, so y = 23

plug this into the third one leaves z = 111

Hope this helps!
