This is the standard problem of the translation of polar coordinates (r,φ)=(400,125°)(r, \varphi) = (400, 125 \degree) to rectangular (x,y)(x,y). The relationship is

x=rcosφ=400cos125°229.43,y=rsinφ=400sin125°327.66.x = r \cos \varphi = 400 \cos 125 \degree \approx -229.43, \\ y = r \sin \varphi = 400 \sin125 \degree \approx 327.66.
