Flagpole problem

[mustang1-disabl]

Problem 10.
Runner A is initially 5.3 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.4 km/h due east. Runner B is initially 4.1 km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 7.8 km/h due west.
How far are the runners from the flagpole when their paths cross? Answer in units of km.

I figure out the time to be t= 0.580246914.

That's great!!

So that's the time in hrs that EACH runner ran. Now you simply figure out how far either one ran in that time and where that is relative to the flagpole.

TTFN,
