Question

The value of r represents the distance from a point to the pole when plotting that point in polar coordinates. True or False?

Answer 1

Answer:

True, r represents the distance from a point to the pole when plotting that point in polar coordinates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The statement '' The value of r represents the distance from a point to the pole when plotting that point in polar coordinates ''

To state: whether the given statement is true or false

Solution:

In the cartesian coordinate system, any point is represented by the coordinates  $(x,y)$

In polar-coordinates system, distance of the point from the origin (pole)(r) and the angle $(\theta)$ that the line joining the point to the origin makes with the positive  x -axis are used as polar coordinates. Polar coordinates are of form $(r,\theta)$

True, r represents the distance from a point to the pole when plotting that point in polar coordinates.
