### Polar Coordinates Distance Calculation**Problem Statement:**Two plane polar coordinates have the coordinates \((2.2, 48.3^\circ)\) and \((4.6, 10.5^\circ)\). Calculate the distance between them. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.**Detailed Explanation:**In polar coordinates, a point in the plane is represented as \((r, \theta)\), where:- \(r\) is the radial distance from the origin.- \(\theta\) is the angular coordinate (or angle) in degrees.To find the distance \(d\) between two points \((r_1, \theta_1)\) and \((r_2, \theta_2)\) in polar coordinates, you can use the formula:\[ d = \sqrt{r_1^2 + r_2^2 - 2 r_1 r_2 \cos(\theta_2 - \theta_1)} \]1. For the coordinates \((r_1, \theta_1) = (2.2, 48.3^\circ)\): - \(r_1 = 2.2\) - \(\theta_1 = 48.3^\circ\)2. For the coordinates \((r_2, \theta_2) = (4.6, 10.5^\circ)\): - \(r_2 = 4.6\) - \(\theta_2 = 10.5^\circ\)Convert the angular difference \((\theta_2 - \theta_1)\) to radians if necessary, or use the cosine of the difference directly in degrees:\[ \cos((\theta_2 - \theta_1)^\circ) = \cos(10.5^\circ - 48.3^\circ) \]Then, substitute the values into the formula to compute the distance \(d\).**Note for Educational Websites:**- Ensure that students understand how to convert between degrees and radians if needed.- Explain the cosine function and its significance in the formula.- Provide step-by-step calculations and intermediate results to enhance understanding.Remember to use appropriate mathematical notation and clarify each step for better readability and comprehension.

Which of the following statements are correct? Adding two vectors creates a new "resultant" vector. When adding parallel vectors, the resultant vector is the sum of the magnitudes of the original vectors. When adding perpendicular vectors, the resultant vector is the sum of the magnitudes of the original vectors. Graphing calculators always report angles in degrees. Vectors pointing in different direction cannot be subtracted. A vector can be broken into x and y component vectors that sum to equal the original vector. Multiplying a vector by a scalar changes the vector's magnitude and direction.
