EXTEND – WEEK 1 DAY 5

An earthquake was recorded at Stations A, B, and C shown on the map below.
Station A reported that the epicenter of the quake was 2000 km from the station.
Station B reported a distance of 2000 km.
Station C reported a distance of 4500 km.
Using a ruler, compass, and the scale below of ¼ inch = 500 km, locate and label the epicenter of the earthquake on this map.
