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

  1.    
  2. #include < stdio.h >  
  3. #include < math.h >  
  4.   
  5. int main()  
  6. {  
  7.     float x, y, r, theta;  
  8.     const float PI = 3.141592;  
  9.   
  10.     printf("Enter Polar Co-ordinates(r, theta)\n");  
  11.     scanf("%f%f", &r, &theta);  
  12.   
  13.     /* Convert angle from Degree To Radian */    theta = theta * (PI / 180.0);   
  14.   
  15.     x = r * cos(theta);  
  16.     y = r * sin(theta);

  18.     printf("Cartesian Co-ordinates (x, y) = (%f, %f)\n", x, y);  
  19.   
  20.     return 0;  
  21. }  

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