Hi Guys,

I’m getting a headache trying to remember my high school geometry/trig to no avail, so thought id see if someone here can help :ne:

PROBLEM:  
I need to be able to find the co-ordinates of a point on a circle’s circumference, given the degree or angle.

For example, to find 2 oclock’s co-ordinates i would use 60 degrees in a math function (along with the circles center co-ords and radius), to return the co-ordinates of 2 oclock.

Does anyone out there know the math to solve this?

Thanks a million in advance.

Lars
