Answer

$0 \leq \theta \leq \dfrac{\pi}{3}$ and $0\leq r\leq \sec \theta$

Work Step by Step

Conversion of polar coordinates and Cartesian coordinates are as follows: a)$r^2=x^2+y^2 \implies r=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}$ b) $\tan \theta =\dfrac{y}{x} \implies \theta =\tan^{-1} (\dfrac{y}{x})$ c) $x=r \cos \theta$ d) $y=r \sin \theta$ Here, $(x,y)=(1,\sqrt 3)$ The diagonal points to these points are: $(x,y)=P(\sqrt{1+3},\tan^{-1} \dfrac{1}{\sqrt 3}=P(2, \dfrac{\pi}{3})$ As $x=r \cos \theta =1\implies r=\sec \theta$ Therefore, the region described in polar coordinates is: $0 \leq \theta \leq \dfrac{\pi}{3}$ and $0\leq r\leq \sec \theta$
