Imagine a cellphone tower (red) and static cell phones (green) where the cellphone locations are known and FIXED. (ie, I know the x,y coordinate as well as the DISTANCE to each cell tower from a green location.)
Given the above I want find the x,y coordinate of an unknown device (orange) on the plane? The orange device can only give its distance to anyone of the cell towers but it knows nothing about the static devices (green).
Is there a way of finding the x,y of the orange device?
