Geocache Description:

THE ABOVE COORDINATES ARE MOSTLY BOGUS!

A triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry: a two-dimensional figure with three vertices and three sides which are straight line segments.


Are you familiar with the mathematics behind the technology contained in your little handheld GPS receiver? Whether youre a geometry whiz or a math dummy, give this puzzle a shot.
