I’m saying that the tangent of a straight line in Cartesian coordinates, projected into polar, does not have constant tangent. A line with a constant tangent in polar, would look like a circle in Cartesian.
We are interested in the lines tangent a given graph, regardless of whether that graph is produced by rectangular, parametric, or polar equations. In each of these contexts, the slope
of the tangent line is dydx. Given r=f(θ), we are generally not concerned with r′=f′(θ); that describes how fast r changes with respect to θ. Instead, we will use x=f(θ)cosθ, y=f(θ)sinθ to compute dydx.
From the link above. I really don’t understand why you seem to think a tangent line in polar coordinates would be a circle.
Wouldn’t the angles need to be interior?
They are all interior to the meme
also the sides must be straight
It’s 2024 now… Not everyone has to be straight anymore!
If you want to claim you are a square, you need.
WOW! just wow, do you hear yourself?
It’s actually illegal
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
Hi.
Polar coordinate straight
Define straight in a precise, mathematical way.
The tangent of all points along the line equal that line
Only true in Cartesian coordinates.
A straight line in polar coordinates with the same tangent would be a circle.
EDIT: it is still a “straight” line. But then the result of a square on a surface is not the same shape any more.
I’m not sure that’s true. In non-euclidean geometry it might be, but aren’t polar coordinates just an alternative way of expressing cartesian?
Looking at a libre textbook, it seems to be showing that a tangent line in polar coordinates is still a straight line, not a circle.

Sorry that’s not what I’m saying.
I’m saying a line with constant tangent would be a circle not a line.
Let me try another way, a function with constant first derivative in polar coordinates, would draw a circle in Cartesian
geodesic
I knew math was homophobic!
This is merely a projection of a square on the surface of a cone projected onto a plane.
This is also not a polygon. It has infinite and 2 sides at the same time.
This actually has six right angles if you include exterior ones.
