Identify the given Cartesian equation: x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4.
Recall the conversion formulas from Cartesian to polar coordinates: x = r\(\cos\[\theta\) and y = r\(\sin\]\theta\).
Substitute x = r\(\cos\[\theta\) and y = r\(\sin\]\theta\) into the equation: (r\(\cos\[\theta\))^2 + (r\(\sin\]\theta\) - 2)^2 = 4.
Simplify the equation: r^2\(\cos\)^2\(\theta\) + (r\(\sin\)\(\theta\) - 2)^2 = 4.
Further simplify and solve for r in terms of \(\theta\) to find the polar form of the equation.
