r = √(x^2 +y^2) = √2

θ = arctan(y/x) = arctan(1) = π/4 . . . . . taking quadrant into account*

(1, 1) in rectangular coordinates = (√2, π/4) in polar coordinates.

___
* if you do this using a spreadsheet or some calculators, the ATAN2(x, y) function is appropriate. Be careful, on my TI-83/84, it is ATAN2(y, x).
