Rectangular to polar

d R³´P
d ! displays the R³´P menu, which has functions for
converting coordinates between rectangular (x,y) and polar
(r,q) format. Set Angle mode, as necessary, before starting
calculations.
1: P ´Rx( Converts polar to rectangular and displays x.
2: P ´Ry( Converts polar to rectangular and displays y.
3: R ´Pr( Converts rectangular to polar and displays r.
4: R ´Pq( Converts rectangular to polar and displays q.
Example
Convert polar coordinates (r, q)=(5, 30) into rectangular
coordinates. Then convert rectangular coordinates
(x, y) = (3, 4) into polar coordinates. Round the results to one
decimal place.
