b. There are five rainfall gauges on a square plot of land of dimensions 2km x 2km. One of the gauges is located in the centre of the plot. Determine the position of the other four rainfall gauges such that the areal rainfall estimated using the Thiessen Polygon method is exactly equal to the estimate using the arithmetic method. Show your approach for finding the positions. Also show the gauge positions on a sketch.
