Theory

  • Polar point (r,θ)(r,\theta) corresponds to rectangular coordinates:
(x,y)=(rcosθ, rsinθ)(x,y)=(r\cos\theta,\ r\sin\theta)
  • If r<0r<0 then:
(r,θ)=(r,θ+π)(r,\theta)=\left(|r|,\theta+\pi\right)
  • Common exact values:
cosπ6=32, sinπ6=12,cos5π12=624, sin5π12=6+24\cos\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2},\ \sin\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{1}{2},\quad \cos\frac{5\pi}{12}=\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{4},\ \sin\frac{5\pi}{12}=\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}{4}
