Imagine the dot starts at the point (1,0), turns through 60
degrees anticlockwise and then stops.
I was wondering, if the point hadn't stopped, and instead carried
on until it had turned through 30 000 degrees, might it have
finished the same distance above the horizontal axis?
I took out my calculator and typed 30 000
360
The answer on the screen was 83.333333
How can I use this to help me solve my problem?
There are ideas for follow-up problems in the
