Polar Coordinate System

In a geometric plane, the coordinate system in which a point P is identified using the coordinates of an ordered pair (r, θ), where r is the distance from the origin to the point P and θ is the angle of rotation.
In a polar coordinate system, the coordinates (rθ) of a point P are called the radial coordinate and the angular coordinate, respectively, of P.
