Polar Graph Paper

A polar graph paper is also called a polar coordinate paper. It has concentric circles on it along with the intersecting rays. The polar coordinates could be easily drawn on these graphs since you can easily calculate the distance from the origin. The angle of the path is also given so you don’t have to worry about the angle anymore.

How to use polar graph paper?

A polar coordinate is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction.

Key Terms:

• Radius: A distance measured from the pole;
• Angular coordinate: An angle measured from the polar axis, usually counter-clockwise;
• Pole: The reference point of the polar graph;
• Polar axis: A ray from the pole in the reference direction.
  

In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction. When we think about plotting points in the plane, we usually think of rectangular coordinates (x,y) in the Cartesian coordinate plane. However, there are other ways of writing a coordinate pair and other types of grid systems. Polar coordinates are points labeled (r,θ) and plotted on a polar grid. The polar grid is represented as a series of concentric circles radiating out from the pole, or the origin of the coordinate plane.
