    You use Math.cos, Math.sin like this:

    pointX = x + distance * Math.cos(angle)
    pointY = y + distance * Math.sin(angle)
    

    enter image description here

    Note about radians / degrees

    Math.cos and Math.sin assumes the argument is given in radians (0…2π). If you have the angle in degrees (0…360), you would use Math.cos(Math.toRadians(angle)) for instance.
