### Sketch a Graph of the Polar Equation

**Polar Equation:**
\[ r = 8 \sin(\theta) \]

**Graph Descriptions:**

1. **Top Left Graph:**
   - The graph displays a circle centered at (0, 4) on the polar axis with a radius of 4.
   - The circle intersects the vertical axis at points (0, 0) and (0, 8).

2. **Top Right Graph:**
   - This graph shows a circle centered at (0, -4) with a radius of 4.
   - The circle touches the vertical axis at (0, -8) and (0, 0).

3. **Bottom Left Graph:**
   - The circle is centered at (0, -4) and has a radius of 4.
   - It intersects the vertical line at (0, -8) and (0, 0).

4. **Bottom Right Graph:**
   - This graph features a circle centered at (0, -4) with a radius of 4.
   - It crosses the line at (0, -8) and (0, 0).

Overall, you need to find which one corresponds to the given polar equation \( r = 8 \sin(\theta) \).

**Task:**
Express the equation in rectangular coordinates using the variables \( x \) and \( y \).

**Rectangular Coordinates Conversion:**

- Conversion Formulas:
  - \( x = r \cos(\theta) \)
  - \( y = r \sin(\theta) \)
  - \( r^2 = x^2 + y^2 \)

To express in rectangular coordinates:
\[ y = 8 \sin(\theta) \]
Since \( y = r \sin(\theta) \) and \( r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \),
\[ y = 8 \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}} \]
Multiply both sides by \( \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \) to eliminate the fraction:
\[ y \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = 8y \]
Since \( y \neq 0 \), divide both sides by \( y \):
\[ \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = 8 \]
Square both sides:
\[ x^2 + y^2 = 64 \
