SOLUTION: Hi there! I am having trouble solving this problem. Convert r=2csc(theta) into rectangular form. I am not quite sure where I input x^2 + y^2, or if I even do that at all.

Thank you for viewing. Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! r = 2 csc(theta)
divide both sides by csc(theta)
use the trig identity csc(theta) = 1/sin(theta)
r sin(theta) = 2
y = 2 is the rectangular form
(since y = r sin(theta))
