Hi
(I hope this is the right place to post this - sorry if it's not)
Say I have a line (in the graphic is shown a 10mm but it could be any length) and it rotates around a point at one end.
What is the formula to get the length along the x-axis directly under the other end of the line. In the graphic that would be the distance between points a and x.
Thanks

EDIT - I have tried using a Taylor Series but it's been a long time since I was a school :-)
It's simple on a calculator with the cosine of the angle and the line as a hypotenous but I am trying to get the maths formula.
