arctanget is used for finding a angel of a right trangel
arctangent is notated as tan^-1 tangent to -1 power..
same for arccos, arccot and so on

Now sec is the opposite of sin which means if sine = 1/2 sec = 2/1

sin = y/hypotenuse
cos = x/hypotenuse
sec = hypotenuse/x
csc = hypotenuse/y
tan=sin/cos=y/x
cot=cos/sin=x/y

I am pretty sure

i use pythageorm theom for.. finding the distance.. between 2 objects
but its easyer to just use the distance formula
which is
squareroot((x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2)
