Lisa, Bree, and Caleb are meeting at an amusement park. They each enter at a different gate. On this diagram of the park, explain how the friends could calculate the point that is equidistant from all three gates.
To calculate the point that is equidistant from all three gates, Lisa, Bree, and Caleb can follow these steps:
1. Locate the positions of each gate on the diagram.
2. Measure the distance between each gate and any two other gates.
3. Draw three circles on the diagram, each centered at one of the gates and with a radius equal to the distance calculated in step 2.
4. The point where all three circles intersect is the point that is equidistant from all three gates.
5. They can then use this point as their meeting point at the amusement park.
