By using a change from polar to rectangular coordinates, we will see that Oscar's location is (-6.93mi, -4 mi).

How to get Oscar's exact location?

In polar coordinates, we can see that Oscar 'slocation is defined by a radius of 8 miles and by an angle of 210° (we use 210° because we measure the angle from the positive x-axis).

Now, if we know the radius and the angle, the rectangular coordinates are just:

x = R*cos(angle)

y = R*sin(angle).

In this case, we will have:

x = 8mi*cos(210°) = -6.93mi

y = 8mi*sin(210°) = -4 mi

So, Oscar's exact position is (-6.93mi, -4 mi).
