Mag
Distance = Mag ( X AS Float , Y AS Float )
This function returns
Sqr((X ^ 2)+(Y ^ 2)).
This is the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle with sides of length
X and
Y, or the distance of the point (
X,
Y) from the origin.
This is the same function as
Hyp.
To convert rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates, use this function to get the distance and
Ang to get the angle.
