Coordinate Converter (Cartesian / Polar)

Convert between Cartesian (x,y) and polar (r,θ) coordinates.

Input Data

Cartesian→polar or polar→Cartesian.
X
Y
R
Theta
Degrees or radians.

Results

Converted coordinates.

Explanatory note about the result.
r=5;θ=53.130102°

At a glance:x = r·cosθ, y = r·sinθ; r = √(x²+y²), θ = atan2(y,x). Complements slope and distance-formula.

Formula

x = r·cosθ, y = r·sinθ.

r = √(x²+y²), θ = atan2(y,x).

How to Use

  1. Pick a mode and enter coordinates.
  2. The tool returns the other form.

Case Studies

(3,4) → r=5, θ=53.13°

r=5; θ=atan2(4,3)=53.13°.

FAQ
