As seen in the image, we see that the xx coordinate is rcostheta rcosθ, and the yy is rsintheta rsinθ obtained by simple trig

r = 4 , theta = (23pi)/12 r=4,θ=23π12

=> x = 4cos( (23pi)/12 ) = sqrt(6) + sqrt(2) x=4cos(23π12)=6+2

=> y = 4sin( (23pi) / 12 ) = sqrt(2) - sqrt(6) y=4sin(23π12)=26

(r, theta ) -> (4, (23pi)/12 ) (r,θ)(4,23π12)

color(blue)((x,y) -> (sqrt(6) +sqrt(2) , sqrt(2) - sqrt(6) ) (x,y)(6+2,26)
