Question: Problem 1 ( 2 5 points ) : Distance Measures Calculate the Euclidean and Rectilinear distance measures for the distance between the following two points:

Problem 1(25 points): Distance Measures
Calculate the Euclidean and Rectilinear distance measures for the distance between the following two points: (2.3,43.5) and (15.3,6.34).
Problem 2(75 points): Facilities Layout Problem
The following questions are associated with the facilities layout problem shown below. The problem contains three plants supplying four customers or warehouses.
Customer i 1234
Demand d_i 10025075300
Facility j c_(i,j) f_j M_j
110512201000500
212724152000300
32397181000500
Recall that c_(i,j) refers to the cost associated with servicing customer i from facility j. A solution {x_(i,j):i=1,2,3,4,j=1,2,3} refers to the amount of product that flows to customer i from facility j. You are given the following solution: x_1,1=100, x_2,1=250, x_3,3=75, x_4,3=300, and all other x_(i,j)=0. Please answer the following questions.
Objective Function: Use the solution and the information found in c_(i,j) to find the value of the objective function.
Capacity Constraint: Use the information contained in the Facility Layout Problem and solution to verify that the capacity constraints are not violated.
Demand Constraint: Use the information contained in the Facility Layout Problem and solution to verify that the customer demand constraints are satisfied.
