The solid lines on the map represent paved, two-lane
roads in a show-removal district in Wicomico County.
The broken lines are state highways.
After a snowfall, two plow-trucks are dispatched from a garage that
is about 4 miles west of each of two points (*) marked on the map.
Find an efficient way to use two trucks to sweep snow fro the
county roads. The trucks may
use the state highways to access the country roads.
Assume that the trucks neither break down nor get
stuck and that the road intersections require no special plowing
techniques. |
