So I am trying to find a vector a certain distance away from another point ( the distance varies based on an input ) and I've figured out that
distance^2=(newPoint-centerPoint):Dot(newPoint-centerPoint)
Where newPoint is what I'm looking for and centerPoint is what I have. I don't know where to go from there to further solve for newPoint and I also know that there's many possible answers, is there a way to make it pick just one of those? Sorry if this is a fairly simple question, my highest level of math education is geometry.
