Absolute coordinate technique

EXAMPLE

X

Y

Point Description (X, Y)

Find the absolute coordinate 3 to 4. Take the distance
3 - 4 (X-axis) as a reference to the next point.
4 Point 3 = 9.42,13 19.42, 13
Next point = (9.42 + 10),13
= 19.42, 13

Find the absolute coordinate 4 to 5.
Find the distance X:
Cos 22 = X/8
X = 0.927 x 8 = 7.42
Coordinate X: 19.42 + 7.42 = 26.84

26.84, 10
Find the distance Y:
5

Coordinate Y: 10 - 3 = 10
