z=5.025(cos1.47+isin1.47) Angle expressed in radians.

Explanation:

In polar form (12+5i) lies on the 1st quardrant. The length of it from the origin is r=.52+52=25.25=5.025 The argument is θ=tan1(5.5)orθ=tan110=1.47radian
So in Polar form z=5.025(cos1.47+isin1.47) ; If θ is expressed in degree then z=5.025(cos84.29+isin84.29)
