. . . what happens? From my admittedly limited knowledge of boxing -- perhaps applicable because of its nickname, the "sweet science" -- I know that impact to the stomach constricts the organs somewhat and makes it harder to breathe. But why? Is the body trying to lessen damage to the vitals...

Actually, no. I hadn't thought of that. But I don't know how to set it in radian mode. Is there some way I could convert the 4.39 into a form usable in degree mode?

Bit of a problem with polar coordinates. (Only trig knowledge needed.) Right. So, in this problem, I'm given the polar coordinate point (rad2, 4.39) -- "rad2" being, naturally, short for radical 2. I'm to find the rectangular coordinates of the point, using the formulas: x = r cos Theta...
