When the number of forces is larger than three, it is no longer possible to determine the angles separating the various forces without taking into account the geometry of the location polygon. Geometric and trigonometric methods are then powerless. Iterative optimizing methods are used in such cases.

Unfortunately, this system of six simultaneous equations with six unknowns is undetermined, and the possibility of the origins of the three vectors oriented towards the three attraction points not coinciding explains why. In the case of non-coincidence, we observe that all the six equations are still

A geometrical solution exists for the attraction-repulsion triangle problem. Its discovery is rather recent. That geometrical solution differs from the two previous ones since, in this case, the two constructed force triangles overlap the
