THE AIRPORT PROBLEM

ELIZABETH BARNES, SAM SHEALY, AUSTIN HAVEMEN & JAXON STANTON

What is the most cost efficient location for the new airport?

Option B because, the people would have a more convenient way to travel from where they are coming from to the airport.

What construction would locate the point that is the shortest distance to each of the three existing highways?

Finding the median of all the lines or the triangle would then give us an point, which would be the center of the triangle. The perpendicular distance would be from the centroid to the middle of line AB, the centroid to the line BC and the centroid to the center if the line CA because they are shortest distance from a point to a line.

The coordinates of the centroid (Point D) are about (13.25, 12)
