The Problem:
Runner A is initially 6.0 km west of a falgpole and is running with a constant velocity of 9.0 km/h due east.
Runner B is initially 5.0km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.0 km/h due west. What will be the distance of the two runners from the flagpole when their paths cross?
The Answer: .2km West of the flagpole.
I know this is simple shit, but for some reason my mind is freezing when it comes down to HOW this answer is acquired.
