Can you use math to find the stronghold?

While I was doing my runs on MC Java, I was curious to find out if it was possible to calculate the coordinates of the stronghold by only throwing two eyes of enders. This is how it works: You throw one eye of ender at a coordinate x=300 z=250, then move ur crosshair exactly where the pearl is, then note down the necessary degrees. You move about 500 blocks and do the same thing to get a more accurate result when finding the intersection point. I asked a question on Quora and how to do the math, and holy train I got it: https://www.quora.com/Suppose-a-compass-is-pointing-towards-a-location-with-unknown-coordinates-At-coordinate-x-200-y-150-the-compass-is-pointing-toward-53-2-At-coordinate-x-1280-y-150-the-compass-is-pointing-toward-22-6-What-are-the/answer/Gary-Ward-171?ch=10&share=4edc647a&srid=uisfk So my main question is: Can I use math to easily find the coordinates of the stronghold?

Thank you for the link Etherealxx!

Quick curiosity, when will the vote/poll end? And when will we get to see the results?
