Problem 3 on Homework 2 Four rain gages are located within a rectangular area whose four corners are A (0,0), B (0,13), C (14,13), and D (14,0). These rain gages have the following locations and rainfalls as shown in the following table. Determine the average rainfall inside the rectangle ABCD. Gage Coordinates (miles) Rainfall (inches) 12,90.59 27,110.79 312,100.94 46,21.69
