Use the equations
x=rcosa
y=rsina
tana=y/x
to solve the problem.

Explanation:

To convert this rectangular coordinate to polar form, just plug in the values for the equation.

53/7=tana
tan^-1=82 =a

(Sorry for the whole number rounding. I was not able to find the rounding character.)

And now, plug the value in for the other equation to get r.

7=rcos82
53 = rsin82

r=53

Answer:
(53, 82)
