**Complex Numbers in Polar Form**

_Quotient of Complex Numbers_

**Problem Statement:**
Write the quotient in rectangular form.

\[
\frac{3 \text{ cis } 275^\circ}{27 \text{ cis } 50^\circ}
\]

**Notes:**

1. **cis** notation: In mathematics, the notation \(r \text{ cis } \theta\) represents a complex number in polar form, which can be expressed as \(r (\cos(\theta) + i \sin(\theta))\).

2. **Conversion to Rectangular Form:** To convert the polar form \(r (\cos(\theta) + i \sin(\theta))\) to rectangular form \(a + bi\):
   - Identify the value of \(r\), the modulus (magnitude).
   - Determine \(\theta\), the argument (angle).
   - Use the trigonometric identities to find the real part \(a = r \cos(\theta)\) and the imaginary part \(b = r \sin(\theta)\).
   
3. **Division of Complex Numbers in Polar Form:**
   \[
   \frac{r_1 \text{ cis } \theta_1}{r_2 \text{ cis } \theta_2} = \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right) \text{ cis } (\theta_1 - \theta_2)
   \]

**Example Calculation:**

Given the expression:
\[
\frac{3 \text{ cis } 275^\circ}{27 \text{ cis } 50^\circ}
\]

Step-by-step process:
1. Divide the magnitudes: 
   \[
   r = \frac{3}{27} = \frac{1}{9}
   \]

2. Subtract the angles: 
   \[
   \theta = 275^\circ - 50^\circ = 225^\circ
   \]

3. Express the quotient in polar form:
   \[
   \frac{1}{9} \text{ cis } 225^\circ
