Question:

A pizza delivery service has decided to open a branch near off- campus student housing. The project manager has identified five student apartment complexes in the northwest area of the city, the locations of which, on an xy coordinate grid in miles, are C 1 = (1, 2), C 2 = ( 2, 6), C 3 = ( 3, 3), C 4 = ( 4, 1), and C = 5 ( 5, 4). The expected demand is weighted as w 1 = 5, w 2 = 4, w 3 = 3, w 4 = 1, and w= 5. Using the cross-median approach, recommend a location for the pizza branch that will minimize the total distance traveled.
