Calculating a shadow length and angle based on the X/Y offsets

I am working on parsing data from file generated by a program, it can apply a shadow to text. In the UI you simply set an angle, length, and radius

UI

With those values shown in the screenshot, that data is saved like this inside of an XML node

10|{1.41421356237309, -1.4142135623731}

The format is:

radius|{offsetX, offsetY}

I'd like to calculate these values back into the angle and length so I can return them in my parser. Looking around online I have only found the opposite: a way to calculate those offsets from the angle and length.

let length = 2;
let angle = 135;
let shadowX = Math.sin(angle * (Math.PI / 180)) * length;
let shadowY = Math.cos(angle * (Math.PI / 180)) * length;

console.log(shadowX, shadowY); //1.4142135623730951 -1.414213562373095

This is where I wish I'd paid more attention in my algebra classes. I have no idea how to proceed here to calculate the values I want. I need to be able to input those X/Y offset values and get the angle and length returned.

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
