If the city of Aardvosk is 9000 miles from Baltimore, and Baltimore is 9000 miles from the city of Crupnik,...

Question

is closer to Aardvosk than to Baltimore?

I know the answer is 100% but why??

Answer 1

A---9000---B---9000---C

It depends on where the towns are located.

Answer 2

If this sort playing with words then Crupnik is closer to Baltimore because the C is after B then closer to it than A, but if it has to do with math there are two possibilities, either all at the same distance from each others if they form an equelatrial triangle or Crupnik is closer to Aardvosk if they form two equal sides triangle
