I should have clarified, im using your library along with my own BLE beacons, to use trilateration in order to track my location. If i want to place my beacons inside a room, using the coordinates, how do i know which coordinate belongs to which beacon im using? in this:

The positions and distances you copied are an example for input parameters. The example has 4 Positions with x and y components: e.g. {5.0, -6.0} means x=5; y=-6 The distances are the measured distances to each position. This means that both arrays correspond in length in their first dimension.

So if i want to use BLE beacons inside a room and find my own location, how could i use the library for that?

Please keep in mind that this is an issue tracker, not maths class. As you don't seem to have an issue with this library I'm going to close the thread.
