Assume this works the same as the Java Math#atan2 function.
Converts an angle measured in radians to an approximately equivalent angle measured in degrees.
The conversion from radians to degrees is generally inexact; users should not expect cos(toRadians(90.0)) to exactly
equal 0.0.
This is the same as doing x * 180 / 3.14159...
.
