1.2 - TRIANGULATION




animation : Next, say we measure our distance to a second satellite and find out that it's 20,000 Km away.
That tells us that we're not only on the first sphere but we're also on a sphere that's 20,000 Km from the second satellite.
Or in other words, we're somewhere on the circle where these two spheres intersect.
