Even still.
Converting to polar:
√241.16^2 + (-54.82^2)
= √58158.15 + (+3005.23)
= √61163.38
=247.31
arctan 54.82/247.31 = -12.49
= 247.31 ∠ -12.49
I have just tried this after reading another article but it still doesn't seem to come up with the right answer.
Ok thank you for your reply and feedback.
So the process I am using is correct which is a good start. Looking at what you have put and inputting the correct figures I have gotten.
208 + j0 + 41.16 - j54.82 gives 241.16 - j54.82 (As you have suggested above)
Converting to polar:
√241.16^2 +...
Sorry I don't understand what you mean, where have I added?
I have subtracted as follows:
208 - 41.16 = 166.84
j0 - j54.82 = -j54.82.
Therefore resulting in 166.84 - j54.82
So far I have the understanding that subtraction is easier in polar form and multiplication in rectangular form, I need to transform into rectangular form.
I have first multiplied 2.5∠90 x 27.42∠36.9.
= 68.55∠126.9 (I have multiplied the polar magnitude and addition for the angle)
Then I have...
I'm having trouble trying to calculate how the answer below was achieved from an example i have seen, see below:
208L0 - 2.5L90 x 27.42L36.9 which is then calculated to 255.12L-12.4.
I have tried converting everything to rectangular form, subtract where required and the convert back to polar...
