You need three liner measurements to locate anything in space, which the measurements share a vector. and from these measurements you can trianguate the location of anything.

Why do electric pylons have triangulation?
Triangulation is used to determine the position of points on the Earth's surface, including pylons. Pylons use triangles in their construction because a triangle is a very strong and stable structure.
Can you use triangulation in a sentence?
Triangulation of the exact location of any given thing has become much easier with the development of satellite technology.
How can scientist tell how far the epicenter of an earthquake is from a seismometer station?
They need three stations to accurately tell where the location of something is. By measuring the time where it hit one station to the next, they can determine its location through a process called triangulation.
What are 3 major cities that are coordinates?
Any city or geographic location can be used as coordinates if you take the compass bearing of them. The reciprocal of those bearings could then be used to find your present location by a method called triangulation.
Where do you see triangulation used on this structure explain how triangulation helps to make the head frame structure stronger?
Where do you see triangulation used in this structure. Explain how triangulation helps to make head frame structure stronger
What is mathematical principle behind GPS?
GPS positioning uses a three-dimensional triangulation method (called trilateration) to determine the location of the GPS receiver. Knowing the distance and location of multiple GPS satellites, the receiver can mathematically calculate the intersections of three (or more) spheres to determine its own location, using geometry in three dimensions. Trilateration is explained at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateration.
Is Triangulation primarily used to measure the distance of close stars?
Answer #1:no=================Answer #2:Yes.Another answer: The primary use of triangulation may not be to measure the distance of stars, but the method which is used to measure the distance of close stars is primarily triangulation.
What type of wave can be used to determine the location of an earthquake focus?
Seismic waves can be used to determine the location of an earthquake focus. These waves are triggered by tectonic plates.
Is distance from the ocean used to determine absolute location?
No.
How are seismometer stations used in determining an epicenter?
Triangulation.
What lines on maps are used to determine location?
Latitude and Longitude
What reference is used on maps to help determine location?
an encyclopedia
