A new water line needs to be built to serve customers on two non-parallel streets that do not intersect because the streets terminate at a plaza. If the streets are straight, where should the new water line be located so that every point on the water line is equidistant to both streets? The problem can be modeled geometrically: Find set of points equidistant from two non-parallel segments that do not have an accessible point of intersection.

The North Carolina State Police want to build a new police station so that it is the same distance to three routes: 40, 440 and 495. The three routes form a triangle. What point of concurrency will you need to construct to determine the best location for the new police station? Explain. Incenter because the incenter is equidistant to all three sides of the triangle. Centroid because the centroid is the intersection of the medians of triangle. Incenter because the incenter is equidistant to all three angles of the triangle. Circumcenter because the circumcenter is equidistant to the three angles of the triangle.
