    Resolved [RESOLVED] Trigonometry... and bad too!

    Hey Guys

    Another question that, well, is basically Trigonometry based. (I think... )

    Suppose you have, as the following illustration:
    BAC = 25deg.
    AC = 1meter
    and A = (2, 1)



    How would one calculate the coordinates of point C on the sketch above?

    As I never completed any tertiary matematical courses, (and have forgotten my highschool maths already) I have figured out a way to do it that's... well... not right.

    Theta = 25deg.
    25 / 90 = 0.27
    65 / 90 = 0.72

    Therefore,
    y = y + 0.72
    x = x - 0.27

    I know, I know, it sucks. That's not right and I know it.

    Please guys, I hope that this will be the last question I have to post today.
