Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online coordinate system converter.
Pick the Cartesian to polar mode, enter x and y, and the tool shows the radius r and the
angle in degrees instantly.
Polar coordinates describe a point in a plane with a radius and an angle, while cylindrical
coordinates add a height z for three dimensions.
The angle comes from atan2 of y and x, then it is converted to degrees and shifted into the
range 0 to 360.
Yes. Switch to the polar to Cartesian mode and the tool computes x and y from the radius and
angle while keeping z unchanged.
Angles are entered and displayed in degrees, measured counterclockwise from the positive x
axis of the plane.
