Let North be positive , let East be positive .
You're at (,).
Draw a circle of radius .
Draw a circle of radius .
The first point is (,) since it only has a North () component.
To find the second point, build a right triangle starting at (,) with a hypotenuse that is degrees from the axis (East or positive direction).
You can then calculate the leg lengths using the angle and the hypotenuse.
X leg :
The second point is (3.69,11.79)

To calculate the distance between two points, use the distance formula,
