Answer:

Sample Response: For the tower to be the same distance from each of the centers, the company must find the point that is equidistant from the vertices of the triangle. This is the circumcenter of the triangle and can be found by constructing the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle.

we know that

The circumcenter of a triangle is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides intersect. It is also the center of the circumcircle, the circle that passes through all three vertices of the triangle

The distance of the circumcenter to the vertices of the triangle is equal to the radius of the circle

<u>see the attached figure to better understand the problem</u>

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The cell phone company must be place the new cell tower in the circumcenter of the triangle formed by the center of the three towns

Work out the value of angle x
Alexus [3.1K]

well, it's isosceles so use base angles theorem

the top angle is also x

90 + 2x = 180

subtract 90 from both sides

2x = 90

divide both sides by 2

x = 45 degrees
