A highway contractor needs to locate a single supply point to provide road building materials to four projects. The four projects, which are all approximately the same magnitude, are located at the following coordinates. Coordinate units are in miles.

​X (East)Y (North)
Project A5010
Project B1560
Project C4060
Project D3020

a. On the grid below, plot the locations of the four road-building sites. Properly label all points.
b. What is the centre of gravity?
c. If a single truck were sent from centre-of-gravity to each project and back (four round trips), how many miles would be traveled? (Hint: use the Pythagorean Theorem C = ).
d. Add the calculated centre of gravity to the grid.
