There are three base stations (M1, M2 and M3) that can send and receive signals from your mobile phone (at location Z). Suppose that in a cartesian coordinate system these base stations are located at (0,0), (36, 0) and (16,32), respectively, find the coordinates of Z. The distances between you (at point Z) and the base stations are 29 km, 25 km and 13 km, respectively. (Note: 1 map unit is equivalent to 1 km distance)
