Point Description (X, Y)

1 Starting point 2, 4

Find the absolute coordinate 1 to 2. Take the distance
1-2 (Y-axis) as a reference to the next point.
2 First point = 2, 4 2, 10
Next point = 2, (4 + 6)
= 2, 10

Find the absolute coordinate 2 to 3.
Find the distance X:
Cos 22 = X/8
X = 0.927 x 8 = 7.42
Coordinate X: 2 + 7.42 = 9.42

Find the distance Y:
3 9.42, 13

Coordinate Y: 10 + 3 = 13
