Answer

vertical plane when $\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$

Work Step by Step

In the cylindrical coordinate system, we have $x=r \cos \theta \\ y=r \sin \theta \\z=z$ Conversion of rectangular to cylindrical coordinate system gives: $r^2=x^2+y^2 \\ \tan \theta=\dfrac{y}{x} \\z=z$ Here, we have $\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ We know that $r^2=x^2+y^2 \implies r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ Thus, we have $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=2$ This can be written as: $x^2+y^2=2^2$ Thus, it represents an equation of a vertical plane when $\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ .
