#( -87.90 , 23.55 )#

It can be seen from the diagram that the x coordinate of P is #rcos(theta)# and the y coordinate of P is #rsin(theta)#

So:

#x=rcos(theta)#

#y=rsin(theta)#

From example:

#( 91 ,( -13pi)/12 )#

#x=(91)cos((-13pi)/12)= -87.89925019= -87.90# (2 .d.p.)

#y = (91)sin((-13pi)/12)= 23.55253310=23.55# (2 .d.p.)

Cartesian coordinate is:

#( -87.90 , 23.55 )#
