Three United States cities form an equilateral triangle ABC. The sides of the triangle are major interstates connecting the three cities. A new attraction park is in the works on being built that will draw as many people as possible. Where are the possible points of the park such that the sum of its distances to the interstates is as small as possible? What would be the best location? Interpret the minimum sum of the distances from the optimal point to the interstates.
