Step 1
The radius can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem as
XXX r = ( - 11 ) 2 + 121 2 121.4989712
Step 2
tan ( π ) = 121 - 11 = - 11
The standard arctan function gives us the reference angle in either Quadrant I or Quadrant IV (in Q IV in this case since the value of the "tan" is negative).
arctan ( - 11 ) - 1.48013644
θ = π + arctan ( - 11 ) 1.661456214
