The GNSS method that determines position from measured distances to satellites is called _____.

### Why this is right Trilateration combines measured distances to known points to determine a position. In the material, the known points are satellites and the distances are obtained from their signals. ### The concept A single measured distance restricts the receiver to possible positions at that distance from a satellite. A second distance narrows the possibilities, and another measurement helps identify the aircraft’s position. The GNSS receiver repeats this process and expresses the result as geographic coordinates. This is different from triangulation based on measured angles; the method described here uses distances. ### Terms - **Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)**: a satellite-based navigation system. - **Trilateration**: position determination using measured distances to known points. - **Geographic coordinates**: numerical values that identify a location on Earth. ### Watch out Do not substitute an angle-based method for the distance-based method described here. ### Remember The “distance” idea in trilateration is the clue to the correct term.
