Question
### Cartesian and Polar Coordinates Exercise

#### Problem Statement:
A fly lands on one wall of a room. The lower-left corner of the wall is selected as the origin of a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. The fly is located at the point having coordinates (1.95, 1.10) m.

**Questions:**

(a) **How far is it from the origin (in meters)?**

\[
\boxed{\text{_____}} \text{ m}
\]

(b) **What is its location in polar coordinates?** (Enter \( r \) in meters and \( \theta \) in degrees.)

\[
r = \boxed{\text{_____}} \text{ m}
\]
\[
\theta = \boxed{\text{_____}}\degree \text{ counterclockwise from the } +x\text{-axis}
\]

(c) **What If?** If the wall is 14.0 m long and 4.0 m high, which choice of origin would give the fly the largest distance from the origin?

- [ ] top left corner of the wall
- [ ] bottom right corner of the wall
- [ ] bottom left corner of the wall
- [ ] top right corner of the wall

(d) **What is the distance of the fly from this new origin (in meters)?**

\[
\boxed{\text{_____}} \text{ m}
\]
