Point coordinates in a square

Is it possible to determine the coordinates of a point in a square if the distance to each of the vertices is known?

Of course available. moreover, it suffices to know the distances to three vertices. And if I imagine everything correctly, in some cases up to two.
Draw circles from each vertex and find their intersection points. Two circles can give either one or two points of intersection. If there are two, then you need to look. whether both points are inside the square. If both, then a third circle is needed.
Like so
