I have some problems using Mathematica's Rotate2D, it doesnot give the results as I want them
Eample:
a={10, 30}
b={80., 0.}
c={38.7689, 0.}
theta = -0.24497866312686414`
theta2 = -0.3430239404207034`
Rotate2D[a, theta, test[[1]]]
Rotate2D[%, theta2, test[[2]]]
this gives:
\!\({2.7134309891835002`, 1.7763568394002505`*^-15}\)
While the y-value should be 0 instead of 1.7763568394002505`*^-15.
Anyone know how I can easily fix this, so that I get 0 here instead?
Explanation of reasoning: I need to rotate points about points so that they have the same values, and sometimes like here there are a couple of rotations about points needed, and I always get these weird values, but I reeally need them to be 0 for further research purposes.
(By the way, thanks to all people that replied to my previous post, still need to decide on which one to use, but the problem got a bit harder there, by some complications that are now involved, something to do with clockwise order of found points.)
