Lesson Worksheet: Polar Coordinates Mathematics

In this worksheet, we will practice plotting points in polar coordinates and graphing polar equations.

Q1:

Identify which of the points plotted on the graph has polar coordinates 1,𝜋4.

  • A𝐴
  • B𝐶
  • C𝐸
  • D𝐷

  • A5,𝜋7
  • B5,8𝜋7
  • C5,13𝜋7
  • D5,15𝜋7

Q3:

Which of the ordered pairs (4,30), (4,330), (4,390), and (4,390) does not describe the position of Point 𝐵 in the diagram?

  • A(4,330)
  • B(4,390)
  • C(4,30)
  • D(4,390)

Q4:

Consider the points plotted on the graph.

Write down the polar coordinates of 𝐶, giving the angle 𝜃 in the range 𝜋<𝜃𝜋.

  • A1,𝜋4

Q9:

True or False: The representation of the point (𝑟,𝜃) is the same as (𝑟,𝜃+𝜋).

  • ATrue
  • BFalse

Q10:

Consider the polar coordinates 3,𝜋6 and 4,𝜋3, as shown in the figure.

Find the angle between the two lines.
