triangulere

Triangulere is a term used in some technical or multilingual contexts to denote the act of triangulation, the process of determining a position, relationship, or structure by forming and solving triangles from known reference points. The word evokes the geometric idea of a triangle and is related to the noun triangle and the verb forms found in related languages. In English-language texts the more common form is triangulate, while triangulere appears in multilingual documentation or as a neologistic variant.

In surveying and navigation, triangulere refers to locating an unknown point by measuring angles to at least two or three known points and solving the resulting triangles to derive position. When distances to reference points can also be measured, the method can be refined using trilateration, but the core idea remains the construction of triangles from known coordinates to infer the unknown location, often aided by trigonometric relations such as the law of sines.

In computing and geometry, triangulere can describe the triangulation of a polygon, a standard operation that subdivides a polygon into triangles. This is a foundational step in computer graphics, geographic information systems, and finite-element methods, enabling efficient rendering, mesh generation, and numerical analysis.

In research and data analysis, triangulere may denote triangulation in the sense of combining multiple data sources or methods to validate findings, increase robustness, or cross-check results.
