Explanation / Answer

a) X - Coordinate of weighted COG = (XB*NB+XC*NC+XD*ND+XK*NK)/(NB+NC+ND+NK?)

X = (3*198+4.5*36+3*203+1.5*19)/(198+36+203+19) = 3.06

Y - Coordinate of weighted COG = (YB*NB+YC*NC+YD*ND+YK*NK)/(NB+NC+ND+NK?)

Y = (1.5*198+1.5*36+3*203+3*19)/(198+36+203+19) = 2.23

b) The other factors that come into play when making the decision includes -

D) All of the above

To construct a fire station apart from the consideration of optimal distance point from the homes, the other factors that need to be considered include -

i) zoning considerations which includes various kinds of zoning categories like single family dwelling and multi family dwelling, residential and commercial etc.

ii) Available space in the optimal point to costruct the fire station

iii) Distance from other fire stations.
