I have 2 coordinates (Longitude and Latitude) and a distance from them to a third coordinate. How is it possible to calculate the longitude and latitude (probably 2 possibilities) of the third coordinate?

I have found these 2 answers: Calculating intersection of two CirclesCalculating intersection of two Circles How do I find the intersections of 2 circles on earths surface?How do I find the intersections of 2 circles on earths surface?

But did not understand them as I have finished my geometric lessons long ago :) I would be glad if someone could simplify it for me so I can find the third coordinate in an easy way.

Thanks!

Bilateration using longitude, latitude
