Table 10.1
A single facility is needed to meet the demands of four markets.
The locations and demands of these four markets are shown below.
$$\begin{array} { | c | c | c | }
\hline \text { Market } & \text { Coordinates } & \text { Demand } \
\hline \text { A } & ( 8,6 ) & 10 \
\text { B } & ( 4,12 ) & 15 \
\text { C } & ( 3,2 ) & 10 \
\text { D } & ( 9,6 ) & 6 \
\hline
\end{array}$$
-Use the information from Table 10.1. If the facility must be located at one of these four markets, which of the four locations is most desirable, assuming Euclidean distance?
A) A
B) B
C) C
