Is the point 4.0 m directly in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the plane of the speakers, a point of maximum constructive interference, perfect destructive interference, or something in between?

Two identical loudspeakers 2.0 m apart are emitting 1800 Hz sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Is the point 4.0 m directlyin front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers, a point of maximum constructive interference, perfect destructive interference, or something in between?
two identical loudspeakers are 3.4 m apart. A person stands 5.8m from one speaker and 3.6 from the other. What is the lowest frequency at which destructive interference will occur at this point? The speed of sound in air is 343m/s/
Two small speakers A and B are driven in step at 745 Hz by the same audio oscillator. These speakers both start out 4.50 m from the listener, but speaker A is slowly moved away.
At what distance d will the sound from the speakers first produce destructive interference at the location of the listener?
