Practice Book: 1. A circular revolving sprinkler needs to be set up to water

Practice Book: 1. A circular revolving sprinkler needs to be set up to water every part of a triangular garden. Where should the sprinkler be located so that it reaches all of the garden, but doesn’t spray farther than necessary?

2. You need to supply electric power to three transformers, one on each of

2. You need to supply electric power to three transformers, one on each of three roads enclosing a large triangular tract of land. Each transformer should be the same distance from the power-generation plant and as close to the plant as possible. Where should you build the power plant, and where should you locate each transformer?
