Keep in mind both the distance and time of the scenarios. The faster and more distance travelled = a higher gradient for the line. If he slows, the gradient decreases. If he stops, the line is flat but time still goes on.
Answer: Option C - Construction Y because point E is the circumcentre of triangle LMN.
Point E is the best location for the warehouse as it is exactly equidistant from the three stores at L, M and N.
Step-by-step explanation:
Before solving an algebra problem, it sometimes helps to get a geometric picture of what's happening. Geometry says that three points determine a circle - in other words, given three points that are not
all on the same line, there is exactly one circle which passes through all 3. Finding the point equidistant from the 3 points is the same thing as finding the center of the circle that passes through all of them (since all points on a circle are equidistant from the center).
Our points are L, M and N. Draw the lines LM, LN and MN to form a triangle. Now construct the perpendicular bisectors of any two of the lines, and their intersection, point E, will be the center of this circle.
As shown in the Construction Y because E is the circumcentre of triangle LMN.
This is the best location for the warehouse as it is exactly equidistant from the three stores at L, M and N.
QED!
4 divided by 236 equals to 0.016
You can arrange it any way as long as you keep the 2 as the very first number
