Difference between Triangulation vs. Trilateration

Triangulation

In this process, all the angles and 1 baseline distance are measured in the field of a triangle.
With the help of these measurements the side lengths are computed on the basis of measured angles applying sine law.





Trilateration

In this process, all the sides of  a triangle are measured in the field.
With the help of these distance, the angles are computed applying cosine law.
