(2.853, 0.9271) or, explicitly, 2.853 + i 0.9271,

Explanation:

In rectangular form of a complex number, with real part x and imaginary part y, we use the ordered pair (x, y) to represent the complex number x + i y. Converting to polar coordinates,, using x=rcos(θ)andy=rsin(θ),, it becomes (r, θ)=r(cos(θ)+isin(θ)).Here,r=3andθ=π10=18deg
