Polar-Rectangular Coordinate Conversions
Two functions ([#P], [®R]) are pro-
vided in your HP-11C for polar/
rectangular coordinate conversions.
Angle 6 is assumed to be in decimal
degrees, radians, or grads, depending
upon which trigonometric mode
([DEG], [RAD], or [GRD)) the calculator
is set to. Angle 6 is measured as
shown in the illustration to the right.
The answer returned for 0 is between
180° and —180°.
Polar Conversion. Pressing
(polar) converts values in the X-
and Y-registers representing rectan-
gular coordinates (x, y) to polar
coordinates (magnitude r, angle 6).
