Applet: Rectangular and Polar Coordinates

Guiding Questions: 1. How do the x and y values change as you drag point A horizontally versus vertically? 2. What happens to the radius (r) and angle (α) when point A moves in a circle around the origin? 3. When you toggle the rectangular and polar coordinate checkboxes, how do the two sets of measurements relate to each other on the triangle?
