By polar coordinates, AB = sqrt(3^2 + 3*9 + 9^2) = 3*sqrt(13).

Let A=(3,θ1) and B=(9,θ2) in polar coordinates. If  θ1θ2=π2, then  find the distance AB

 

Formula:
We have two points (r1, θ1) and (r2, θ2).
The distance between two polar coordinates d=r21+r222r1r2cos(θ2θ1)

 

d=r21+r222r1r2cos(θ2θ1)d=r21+r222r1r2cos((θ1θ2))d=r21+r22+2r1r2cos(θ1θ2)d=32+92+239cos(π2)d=9+81+54cos(π2)|cos(π2)=0d=9+81+0d=90d=910d=3210d=310
