In polar coordinates the point is expression as the ordered pair ( r, θ ) where r is the directed distance from the pole, and theta is the directed angle from the positive x - axis. When r > 0, we can tell it = 3 as the point lies on the third circle starting from the center. Now let's start listing coordinates for when r is positive ( r > 0 ). There are two cases to consider here.
( 3, θ ) here theta is 60 degrees more than 180, or 180 + 60 = 240 degrees. Right away you can tell that your solution is ( 3, 240° ), you don't have to consider the second case.
