Trig Question

So my trig abilities are not the greatest. If I had a diameter of 58.044" and an angle of 25.714 degrees if I want to know the distance from the center of the diameter intersected with the angle is there an online calculator I can use to get the answer?

I use online trig calculators usually, just because it's quicker, and more forgiving of fat-fingers, since you can always see your inputs to easily double check.

I went in depth on this just as a teachable moment.

Yeah, now I'm confused what is being asked.

It looks like you have a simple curve (one that doesn't change). On each end of it, and in the middle of it, and every other point in between, the radius is 29.022.

Another way.

Let pcdmis do the magic.

Create a generic point.

1) Place cursor on cartesian and hit F8 (changes from cartesian to polar)
2) X value enter the radius
3) Y value enter the angle
4) Place cursor on cartesian and hit F8 (changes from polar to cartesian)

DONE

If your computer is running Windows 8 or 10, go into the Microsoft Store and find an app called Math Solver. It performs a variety of geometry and trig functions and not only gives the answer but also explains how to get there, in case you want to learn to do it manually. I keep it pinned to my taskbar and use it regularly.
