- You are given the following information about three stations and your distance from them. Find your location:
- It has been proposed that the following formulas can find us the coordinates of our point of interest.
Prove/disprove that these are true, including a check using your work from problem one. - Find the point of interest given the following information:
- You’ll probably notice that the formula from problem 2 cannot be used here. Why not? Is there a way to make the formula work? Can you construct a new formula or new strategy that works if A is not at the origin and B is not on the x-axis? Use your work from problem 3 as a check.
- Build a Google Spreadsheet that can take in points and distances to produce a location. Provide verification that it works.
