the concession stand. Describe how to determine where the concession stand should be to
minimize the amount of asphalt needed.

Answer 3

You'll have to make some assumptions. Will the corners be right angles? How many roads will it take? I think it's obvious that the Concession Stand should be BETWEEN the other two. We'll also need to know what the different distances to the road mean.

Answer 4

I don't think you are supposed to find the actual location, just describe how to go about it. But graph-wise, which I don't think you are required to do would be like this: And you would have to get the measures of "a" and "b".

Answer 5

@Leslie44 are you getting me...?

Answer 6

yes i am

Answer 7

can you find the measures of a and b...?

Answer 8

The tennis court is T, volleyball court is V, and the stand is S. you need to find S on access road VS+ST as small then Locate T is always the same size of the line of access road. because reflection of th isometry. ST = St, and VS +ST = VS +ST Triangle Inequality Theorem is to add Vs + ST smaller when V, S and T straight so S stand where VT line of the road.

Answer 9

ok see.. Where I drew the dotted lines, you have 2 right triangles. The measures of those 2 legs can be known because the volleyball and tennis courts are already there, so those distances are readily available. The solid lines are the hypotenuses. And the distance on the access road from the one dotted line to the other is a given because, again, the volleyball and tennis court locations are already "known"...

Answer 10

can you check my answer plz

Answer 11

yeah,

Answer 12

but my teacher said i have to work my explaination

Answer 13

work on**

Answer 14

can you help me please :/

Answer 15

Are you SURE the diagonals are the best solution? How about a direct route between the venues and a spur to the concessions?

Answer 16

idk :/

Answer 17

I dont understand
