Polar Equations

where a and b are not equal.
Examples:

Length of each leaf is equal
to 3.


Length of longest leaf is equal
to 3.


Length of each leaf is equal
to 6.


Length of each leaf is equal
to 15.


Length of each leaf is equal
to 5.

From investigating these representative
examples and other examples not included on this page, I conclude
that the length of a leaf (or the longest leaf) is determined
by
