Converting polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates

Convert angle in degrees to a point

How could I convert an angle (in degrees/radians) to a point (X,Y) a fixed distance away from a center-point.

Like a point rotating around a center-point.

Exactly the opposite of atan2 which computes the angle of the point y/x (in radians).

From stackoverflow

• Let the fixed distance be D, then X = D * cos(A) and Y = D * sin(A), where A is the angle.

• t = angle
  r = radius (fixed distance)
  
  x = rcost
  y = rsint
  

• What PolyThinker said.

  Also, if you need the distance from the origin, it's sqrt(x^2 + y^2).

• If center-point (Xcp, Ycp) isn't the origin you also need to add it's coordinates to (X,Y) i.e. X = Xcp + D * cos(A) and Y = Ycp + D * sin(A)
