8. Q1 A new back up powe generator is to be located to serve a total of six precision machines in a manufacturing facility. Seperate electrical cables are to be run from the generator o each machine. The locations of the six machines are given in the table. Determine ehe location for the generator that will minimize the total required length of electrical cable. (Assume rectiliniar distance.)
