Answer:
The given statement is a TRUE statement.
Explanation:
In polar coordinates i.e. (r,θ); r represents the polar distance and θ represents the polar angle.
A point in the plane is at a distance 'r' from the origin and the angle 'θ' is the distance between the line drawn from origin to a point at a distance r and the x-axis.
Hence, The value of r represents the directed distance when plotting a point in polar coordinates.
