Find the taxicab distance between the following two points: 𝐴 = (−4; −3) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵 = (2; −2) (2) The ambulance call centre receives a report of an accident at 𝑃 = (4; −1). There are two ambulances in the area, ambulance 𝑄 𝑎𝑡 (1; 2) and ambulance 𝑅 𝑎𝑡 (−1; −1). Which ambulance should be sent to the scene of the accident? (5) The owner of three petrol stations at 𝐴 = (−3; 3), 𝐵 = (4; 1) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶 = (1; −3) wants to build a car wash at a point 𝑃 which will minimize the sum: 𝑑𝑇(𝑃; 𝐴) + 𝑑𝑇(𝑃; 𝐵) + 𝑑𝑇(𝑃; 𝐶) a) Where should she build the car wash? b) What will the sum of the distances be?

Description: find the taxicab distance between the following two points a 4 3 and b 2 2 2 the ambulance call centre receives a report of an accident at p 4 1 there are two ambulances in the area ambulanc 82878

          Find the taxicab distance between the following two points:
𝐴 = (−4; −3) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵 = (2; −2) (2)
The ambulance call centre receives a report of an accident at 𝑃 = (4; −1). There are
two ambulances in the area, ambulance 𝑄 𝑎𝑡 (1; 2) and ambulance 𝑅 𝑎𝑡 (−1; −1).
Which ambulance should be sent to the scene of the accident? (5)
The owner of three petrol stations at 𝐴 = (−3; 3), 𝐵 = (4; 1) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶 = (1; −3)
wants to build a car wash at a point 𝑃 which will minimize the sum:
𝑑𝑇(𝑃; 𝐴) + 𝑑𝑇(𝑃; 𝐵) + 𝑑𝑇(𝑃; 𝐶)
a) Where should she build the car wash? b) What will the sum of the distances be?
