Formula To Convert Polar To Cartesian Co-ordinates

x = r * cos(θ);

y = r * sin(θ);

where x and y are Cartesian co-ordinates. r and θ are polar co-ordinates.

Formula To Convert Degree To Radian

radian = degree * (PI/180.0);
where PI is 3.141592

Source Code: Convert Polar To Cartesian Co-ordinates: C Program

 
#include < stdio.h >
#include < math.h >

int main()
{
    float x, y, r, theta;
    const float PI = 3.141592;

    printf("Enter Polar Co-ordinates(r, theta)\n");
    scanf("%f%f", &r, &theta);

    /* Convert angle from Degree To Radian */    theta = theta * (PI / 180.0); 

    x = r * cos(theta);
    y = r * sin(theta);

    printf("Cartesian Co-ordinates (x, y) = (%f, %f)\n", x, y);

    return 0;
}

Output:
Enter Polar Co-ordinates(r, theta)
5.01
53.131
Cartesian Co-ordinates (x, y) = (3.005938, 4.008047)
