Quiz 6

The cylindrical polar coordinate system describes a point in three-dimensional space using a radial distance (ρ), an azimuthal angle (φ), and a height (z). The expressions relating cylindrical polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates are ρ = √(x2 + y2), φ = tan-1(y/x), and z = z. When projecting onto a two-dimensional plane, the cylindrical polar coordinates ρ and φ can be expressed in terms of x and y as ρ = √(x2 + y2) and φ = tan-1(y/x).
