Leica Captivate - Using Two Bearings; Using Two Distances

The distance and the bearing from the known point to the hidden point are to
be de
termined. An auxiliary point helps compute the bearing which might not
be known. The auxiliary point can be determined in the direction from the
known point to the hidden point.
