I have a unit circle:
x^2+y^2 <= 1
And I'm asked to convert it to a square with verticies (0,0),(0,1),(1,0),(1,1).
Now obviously I have to do this in polar coordinates, so I've rewritten the equation as:
x = cos t
y = sin t
I'm sort of drawing a blank after setting up these equations. How can I convert this curve into straight lines. Any suggestions?
