Given two integers r and ? (in degree) representing polar coordinates of a point (r, ?), the task is to find the Cartesian coordinates of the given point.

Examples:

Input: r = 1.4142, ? = 45
Output: 1.000, 1.000

Input: r = 3, ? = 30
Output: 2.598, 1.500

Approach: Let the cartesian coordinates of the point be (x, y). The polar coordinates and the Cartesian coordinates can be related using the following equations:

x = r*cos? and y = r*sin?

Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  • Convert ? from degrees to radian as ?(in radian) = ? (in degrees) * (3.14159 / 180).
  • Store the x and y coordinate in a variable X and Y respectively.
  • Apply transformation formula and update the value of X = r * cos? and Y = r * sin?.
  • Print the value of X and Y as the result.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++14




// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to convert degree to radian
double ConvertDegToRad(double degree)
{
    double pi = 3.14159;
    return (degree * (pi / 180.0));
}
 
// Function to convert the polar
// coordinate to cartesian
void ConvertToCartesian(
    pair<double, double> polar)
{
 
    // Convert degrees to radian
    polar.second = ConvertDegToRad(
        polar.second);
 
    // Applying the formula:
    // x = rcos(theta), y = rsin(theta)
    pair<double, double> cartesian
        = { polar.first * cos(polar.second),
            polar.first * sin(polar.second) };
 
    // Print cartesian coordinates
    printf("%0.3f, %0.3f",
           cartesian.first,
           cartesian.second);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Given polar coordinates
    pair<double,
         double>
        polar = { 1.4142, 45 };
 
    // Function to convert polar
    // coordinates to equivalent
    // cartesian coordinates
    ConvertToCartesian(polar);
 
    return 0;
}
