Question

Create a class Polar that represents the points on the plain as polar coordinates (radius and angle).
Create an overloaded +operator for addition of two Polar quantities. “Adding” two points on the
plain can be accomplished by adding their X coordinates and then adding their Y coordinates.
This gives the X and Y coordinates of the “answer.” Thus you’ll need to convert two sets of polar
coordinates to rectangular coordinates, add them, and then convert the resulting rectangular
representation back to polar.

Answer 1

Answer:

The problem asks the user to input the coordinates of two cartesian points, converts them to polar coordinates and add the two polar coordinates (& print results of each step.

The only problem I have with this code is in adding the two polar points (I tried storing it as a static function but it still gave me the same result). The conversion to polar points works fine; its only the addition that is giving the wrong results

Formula for adding two polar coordinates

Theta= 0.5(theta1+theta2)

radius=sqrt(r1^2 +r2^2+ (2*r1*r2*cos(theta2-theta1))
