Thank you so much, i tried it while i was waiting for a response and it fixed my whole program. I understood that something was not right with that was being used (radians vs degrees) but I never would have guessed that the trig functions take radians, that seems weird to me.

I don't understand which was it is when you say that the trig equations "use" radians. are you saying i need to convert the angle that the user inputs to radians before it is put through the equation? or convert what comes out of tan(a) into degrees?

https://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=tan+43 so that is radians? that is kinda what I guessed it was. Thanks.

I am making a java program and part of it is to graph the path of a projectile x vs y. The problem i have is that when i use this equation, it messes up the rest of the graph, whenever tan of the angle is negative, so say for 45 degrees the program works fine, but for 43 degrees the graph is...
