A point is to be located by a distance from the origin together with two angles. The system being used has the variables

  • A.\( x, \theta, \phi \)
  • B.\( r, \theta, \phi \)
  • C.\( \rho, \phi, z \)
  • D.\( r, \phi, z \)

Answer: B

Correct answer: \( r, \theta, \phi \)

One distance and two angles is the spherical arrangement: \( r \) from the origin, \( \theta \) measured down from the polar axis, and \( \phi \) round it. Cylindrical coordinates use two distances and one angle, and Cartesian three distances - so the count of angles identifies the system at once.
