A arm shortening

A_armlength* (1-cos(angle)) is the amout of shortening

At 0 degrees the answer should be 0. At 90 degrees, the answer should be equal to A_armlength.

Make sure you calculate the cosine with the proper unit, degrees or radians.

You might describe why you need to know for all than might be interested.
