What shape?

Geometry Level 1

Two men were having a conversation. They had to travel from home to two different locations, at a constant speed. These were the statements:

  1. It is one hour from home to our first location

  2. It is one hour from our first location to our second location.

  3. It is one hour from our second location to home.

What shape does these 3 places form when connected with 3 lines?

All distances equal and 3 distances implies equilateral triangle.

Couldn't one argue that since speed was not given, it could be any kind of triangle?
