[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.
