I have attached the image showing the location of the three schools.

Answer:

Should be built at the centroid of the triangle formed by points A, B and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image, we see that if we join the 3 points by a straight line, they will form a triangle.

Now, to get a location that will be roughly the same distance from all 3 schools, it means a point that is equal to each of 3 vertex of the triangle.

The point that is equal to each vertex of a triangle is known as "Centroid".

Now, to find this centroid, we will add up the (x, y) coordinates of the 3 vertex and divide by 3.

For example;let's assume ;A has a coordinate of (x1, y1) ; B has a coordinate of (x2, y2) ; C has a coordinate of (x3, y3).

The coordinates of the centroid will be;

[(x1 + x2 + x3)/3], [(y1 + y2 + y3)/3]

6. a) The mid point of a line segment is (1,-1) whose one end is (-1, -3). Find the other end. ​
Anna [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

mid point = [(a1 + a2)/2 , (b1 + b2)]

(a1,b1) = first point

(a2,b2) = end point

Using all x coordinates

(a1 + a2)/2 = 1

(-1 + a2)/2 = 1

-1 + a2 = 2

a2 = 3

Using all y coordinates

(b1 + b2)/2 = -1

(-3 + b2)/2 = -1

-3 + b2 = -2

b2 = -1

thus end coordinate = (3, -1)
