In trigonometry and geometry, triangulation is the process of determining the location of a point by forming triangles to the point from known points. == Applications == === In surveying === Specifically in surveying, triangulation involves only angle measurements at known points, rather than measuring distances to the point directly as in trilateration; the use of both angles and distance measurements is referred to as triangulateration.
