Find the target position from two observer angles and a baseline using the Law of Sines.
Last updated: June 2026 | By Patchworkr Team
angle C = 180 - A - B
dist from A = d * sin(B) / sin(C)
x = dist from A * cos(A), y = dist from A * sin(A)
The baseline runs from A to B along the x-axis, with A at the origin and the target positioned above the baseline.
