 Calculating a point using angles and distance


How do I calculate the x and y coordinates of a point that is at some distance and angle away?   

    The following example shows how to convert a polar coordinate to a rectangular coordinate:

    procedure TForm .Button Click(Sender: TObject); var Angle : Double; x : Double; y : Double; Distance : Double; Radians : Double; begin Distance := 00; Angle := 270; Radians := Angle * DegToRad; x := Round(Distance * Cos(Radians)); y := Round(Distance * Sin(Radians)); ShowMessage(FloatToStr(x) + ' ' + FloatToStr(y)); end;
