Yeah, I suppose it’s like “you are a human standing on a flat plain looking at these 3 landmark towers. Where on the map are you?
Intuitively you would be able to eyeball the angles between the landmarks, and eyeball the relative distances. I don’t think I’d draw a circle though. I’d probably have way less confidence for the landmark farther away and balloon out my estimate.
