TRIANGULATES Meaning and Definition

1. The term "triangulates" refers to the process of determining the position or coordinates of a specific point by using triangulation. Triangulation is a method in geometry and surveying that involves measuring the angles and distances between different points in order to calculate the location of an unknown point.

   In a broad sense, triangulating can be applied in various fields and contexts. In navigation and cartography, it is often used to determine the position of a ship or an aircraft by measuring the angles between landmarks or satellites. This method is also employed in surveying and geodesy to accurately map and measure distances on the Earth's surface.

   To triangulate, multiple reference points are needed. By measuring the angles between these points and the unknown target point or object, and knowing the distances between reference points, a triangle can be formed. Utilizing trigonometric principles, the unknown point's location can be calculated based on the measurements obtained from the angles and distances.

   The concept of triangulation can also be extended metaphorically to other fields, such as social sciences or data analysis. In these contexts, it involves cross-referencing data or information from multiple sources to establish validity, accuracy, or consensus. By collecting data from different perspectives or sources, triangulation can help reduce bias and enhance the reliability of the findings or conclusions.

Etymology of TRIANGULATES

The word "triangulates" is formed by adding the suffix "-s" to the noun "triangulate". The noun "triangulate" originates from the verb "triangulate", which is derived from the noun "triangle". However, the exact etymology of "triangle" is uncertain. It can be traced back to the Latin word "triangulum", which is a combination of the prefix "tri-" meaning "three" and the noun "angulum" meaning "corner" or "angle". Ultimately, it can be assumed that "triangulates" is an adaptation of "triangulate" in verb form with the suffix "-s" denoting the third person singular present tense.
