Let A=(3,θ1) and B=(9,θ2) in polar coordinates. If θ1−θ2=π2, then AB find the distance
Let A=(3,θ1) and B=(9,θ2) in polar coordinates. If θ1−θ2=π2, then find the distance AB
Formula:
We have two points (r1, θ1) and (r2, θ2).
The distance between two polar coordinates d=√r21+r22−2r1r2cos(θ2−θ1)
d=√r21+r22−2r1r2cos(θ2−θ1)d=√r21+r22−2r1r2cos(−(θ1−θ2))d=√r21+r22+2r1r2cos(θ1−θ2)d=√32+92+2∗3∗9cos(π2)d=√9+81+54cos(π2)|cos(π2)=0d=√9+81+0d=√90d=√9∗10d=√32∗10d=3√10
