Answer:

The new apartment should be located in the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors and the angle bisectors for the triangle. This point is called CIRCUMCENTER.

The circumcenter of a triangle is a point in the plane equidistant from the three vertices of the triangle. It is the point of concurrency of the three perpendicular bisectors of each side of the triangle.
