You could also be more specific about what you mean by "in Unix"? Do you need a kernel driver, an OpenOffice spreadsheet with the same formula (ugh!), a script which reads the coordinates from the user, a script which reads the coordinates from the command line, or something else?
I pointed you to a program you can download and install, others have shown how to do it by hand as the need arises. You could even script bc if you are good. But almost any programming language at your disposal will have the necessary trig functions and the ability to add, subtract, multiplicate and divide. It's not like it's hard to do if you know the basics. If you promise you won't be using it to launch missiles, maybe somebody will take the challenge, but more detailed requirements would help.

parse_dynamic_clustertoc
parse_dynamic_clustertoc(1M) System Administration Commands parse_dynamic_clustertoc(1M)
NAME
parse_dynamic_clustertoc - parse clustertoc file based on dynamic entries
SYNOPSIS
cdrom/export/exec/sparc.Solaris_2.x/sbin/install.d/parse_dynamic_clustertoc
cdrom/export/exec/i386.Solaris_2.x/sbin/install.d/parse_dynamic_clustertoc
DESCRIPTION
This script parses the clustertoc file before the suninstall(1M) process is run. parse_dynamic_clustertoc is called by a modified syscon-
fig script on the install CD. When parse_dynamic_clustertoc runs, it reads the clustertoc and when it encounters SUNW_CSRMBRIFF lines, it
either checks the platform using the script's builtin function, or calls an external script. The script exits with a 0 if the cluster
entry is included, otherwise it will be ignored. If the cluster entry is to be included, the SUNW_CSRMBRIFF =(test test_arg)cluster line
is converted to SUNW_CSRMEMBER =cluster.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Checking For an SX Framebuffer
The following is an example of a simple external test to check for an SX Framebuffer. The entry in the clustertoc file is shown and fol-
lowing that is the script that must be placed in the install.d/dynamic_test directory.
SUNW_CSRMBRIFF=(smcc.dctoc sx)SUNWCsx
#! /bin/sh
#
# Likewise, this file is expected to live under $(TESTDIR).
#
case "$1"
in
sx) prtconf -p | grep 'SUNW,sx' 1> /dev/null;;
