An industrial park consists of 16 buildings. The corporations in the park are sharing the cost of construction and maintenance for a new first-aid center. Because of the park's layout, distances between buildings are most closely approximated by a rec- tilinear distance measure. Weights for the buildings are determined based on the frequency of accidents. Find the optimal location of the first-aid center to minimize the weighted sum of the rectilinear distances to the 16 buildings.
