I want to find out the position (x,y) of a given point, knowing the distance from 3 x,y points. Below you can view the x,y coordinates and their given distances in **cm**. B1x = 795 B1y = 332 B1d = 245.735630302 B2x = 795 B2y = 569 B2d = 327.946642001 B3x = 516 B3y = 569 B3d = 220.635445928 I have had a look at [this question][1], but this is for earth, and I get the error: `z = math.sqrt(pow(DistA,2) - pow(x,2) - pow(y,2)) ValueError: math domain error` **FIXED** the above error with `abs` to allow negative numbers but getting the wrong coordinates. I want my algorithm to calculate in a 2D environment, with the given values above. Here is the map: You can see the **green X**, is where I want to locate, from the three given beacons (x,y) locations. ![enter image description here][2] [1]: https://gis.stackexchange.com/q/66 [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/hgEc8.jpg
