    Solve Cartesian and Polar Coordinates, Distance, and Direction Problems"

    AND ANOTHER ONE, PLEASE. An air-traffic controller observes two aircraft on his radar screen. The first is at altitude 850 m, horizontal distance 19.8 km, and 25.5° south of west. The second aircraft is at altitude 1000 m, horizontal distance 18.0 km, and 19.0° south of west. What is the...

    Solve Cartesian and Polar Coordinates, Distance, and Direction Problems"

    1) Two points in the xy plane have Cartesian coordinates (1.00, -4.00) m and (-5.00, 5.00) m. Determine their polar coordinates @ (-5.00, 5.00) r = ? θ = ? 2) A plane flies from base camp to Lake A, 290 km away in the direction 20.0° north of east. After dropping off supplies it flies...
