Converting polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates

Question

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).

Answer 1

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