To calculate the point that is equidistant from all three gates, Lisa, Bree, and Caleb can follow these steps:
1. Locate the gates where Lisa, Bree, and Caleb entered the amusement park on the diagram.
2. Draw a line segment connecting any two of the gates. This line segment represents the distance that is equidistant from these two gates.
3. Repeat step 2 with different pairs of gates, drawing additional line segments for the distances equidistant from each pair.
4. The point where all of these line segments intersect is the point that is equidistant from all three gates.
