- APost D is the nearest and post B the farthest from the helipad
- BThey lie on a single straight line through H
- CAll four are exactly 5 km from H, so they lie on a circle of radius 5 centred at H
- DOnly A and D are the same distance from H
Step-by-Step Solution
and HD = |7 - 2| = 5. Every post is 5 km away, so all four lie on the circle of radius 5 km centred at , and no post is nearer than another. The negative coordinates in and do not shorten those distances, because the differences are squared.
Answer: C) All four are exactly 5 km from H, so they lie on a circle of radius 5 centred at H
