Two people in different towns drive to meet each other. • The towns are 300 miles apart.
• The first person travels at a constant rate of 70 miles per hour.
The second person travels at a constant rate of 50 miles per hour.

.
.
What distance has the first person driven when they meet?
A
120 miles
B
125 miles
С
175 miles
D
180 miles

i believe the answer is c.

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.

the answer is

d.
