Question 1163517: A wheel of radius one foot is placed so that its center is at the origin, and a paint spot on the rim is at (1, 0). The wheel is spun 27 degrees in a counterclockwise direction. What are the coordinates of the paint spot? What if the wheel is spun θ degrees instead?

At 27°, the coordinates are  (x,y) = (cos(27°),sin(27°)).


At the angle  alpha, the coordinates are  (x,y) = ( cos%28alpha%29,sin%28alpha%29 ).
