has gloss | eng: The Snellius–Pothenot problem is a problem in planar surveying. Given three known points A, B and C an observer at an unknown point P observes that the segment AC subtends an angle \alpha and the segment CB subtends an angle \beta; the problem is to determine the position of the point P. (See figure; the point denoted C is between A and B as seen from P). |
