Question: Long John Silver, a pirate, has buried his treasure on an island with five trees, located at the following points: (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0
(a) Assume that you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E, as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried?
(b) What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? Rearrange the order of the trees [for instance, B (30 m, ─20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (─10 m, ─10 m), C(40 m, ─30 m), and D(─70 m, 60 m)] and repeat the calculation to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled.
