How to calculate coordinates (x,y) of graph or shape (giving only length between each point)?

111 Views Asked by At

I have met problem where I need to calculate coordinates of x and y of graph or shape given only length between points I could find solutions like to calculate it for triangle shape Given that we know the lengths of the sides etc. but I could not find a solution that can calculate x and y of any possible graph or shape so Is it possible to convert shape or graph from all length sides to x and y coordinates like triangle

There is no unique solution. For example, say you have a polygon with four sides, all of length $a$. You would think that it's a square, but it does not have to be. Any rhombus with a side $a$ will work. So even if you fix two adjacent points, the other two are unknown.
