A race-car starts at the 3 o'clock position and drives counterclockwise on a circular track with a radius 2.9 miles
How many miles to the right of the center of the track is the car when the car has traveled 10.5 miles?

Step 1, find the angle with the x-axis
angle = 10.5/2.9 radians.
---
Step 2, miles ROC = r - r*cos(angle)
