    The document is about trilateration, a technique used to calculate positions using spherical geometry with distances or ranges between three or more points. It includes diagrams demonstrating different scenarios when spheres intersect or not to form circles or points. It also notes that four points are needed to determine the exact three-dimensional position rather than just the plane. The document promotes a trilateration calculator spreadsheet to perform the necessary trigonometric, vector, and linear algebra calculations.

    Two spheres intersect in a circle and a third sphere doesn't intersect.

    One sphere intersects two other spheres, which don't intersect each
    other, forming two circles.

    No mutual intersection between all 3 spheres, but in pairs; forming 3 circles.

    All 3 spheres mutually intersect at 2 points.

    No position can be calculated from 3 spherical propagations except


    for the last instance above. Even then a 4th propagation is needed to
    determine if the position is above or below the plane of ABC (D or D').
