swimgal1212 has a spectacular aura about
polar equations math?

A circle C has center at the origin and radius 6. Another circle K has a diameter with one end at the origin and the other end at the point The circles C and K intersect in two points. Let P be the point of intersection of C and K which lies in the first quadrant. Let be the polar coordinates of P, chosen so that is positive and Find r and theta.

I found r which is 6 but how do you find theta?
