Paul · Answer 1

The coordinates are (rcos (6n), rsin (6n)) where r is the radius of the circle and n ranges from 0 to 59.

60 parts gives the angle 360/60=6 degrees, so multiples of this angle (6n) determine the coordinates.

When n=0, the coords are (r, 0); when n=5, the coords are (r√3/2, r/2); when n=10 the coords are (r/2, r√3/2), etc.
