Given to us is the polar coordinates (r,θ)(r , \theta) given by Point (1,2π/3)( 1,2 \pi / 3 ). The angle θ\theta is 2π3\dfrac{2\pi}{3} .The cartesian coordinates of Points are

x -coordinate\textbf{x -coordinate}

x=rcosθx=1cos2π/3x=12\begin{align*} x &= r \cos \theta \\ x &= 1 \cos 2 \pi / 3 \\ x &= \frac { - 1 } { 2 } \end{align*}

y -coordinate\textbf{y -coordinate}

y=rsinθy=1sin2π/3y=32\begin{align*} y & = r \sin \theta \\ y & = 1 \sin 2 \pi / 3 \\ y & = \frac { \sqrt { 3 } } { 2 } \end{align*}

Hence cartesian Coordinates are (12,32)\left( \dfrac { - 1 } { 2 } , \dfrac { \sqrt { 3 } } { 2 } \right)
