Biangular coordinates

In mathematics, biangular coordinates are a coordinate system for the plane where $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ are two fixed points, and the position of a point P not on the line ${\overline {C_{1}C_{2}}}$ is determined by the angles $\angle PC_{1}C_{2}$ and $\angle PC_{2}C_{1}.$ ^[1]

The sine rule can be used to convert from biangular coordinates to two-center bipolar coordinates.

Applications[edit]

Biangular coordinates can be used in geometric modelling and CAD.^[2]^[3]
