In the same units, the circumference is:
The angle in radians from origin to the new point is:
----------------------------
Note that 2 radians is more than pi/2 ( 90 degrees ),
so the point is in the 2nd quadrant
( -.42, .91 )
---------------
Get a 2nd opinion if needed. I'm assuming
the center is at origin
