From wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TriangulationQuote: In trigonometry and geometry, triangulation is the process of determining the location of a point by measuring angles to it from known points at either end of a fixed baseline, rather than measuring distances to the point directly. The point can then be fixed as the third point of a triangle with one known side and two known angles.End Quote. In easier description and as much most ppl need to know: If you know two points A and B - you can pinpoint a third point C using the angles from A & B - thus creating a triangle of 3 points. Or with 1 side or 1 baseline, you can simply make an arc from either end each with a different radius and the intersecting point will create a triangle. --- End thread
