Saniya Skull Drinker is a Viking chieftain that is approaching the entrance of a river. The river is defended by
guard towers on each riverbank. Saniya's main shipmaster, Will Stormslayer, notes that the two distances of
each of the towers to the ship differ by 83m, and that from the ship's location the angle formed between those
distances is 65º.
a) If the sum of the longer distance squared and the shorter distance squared is 40709m, how far apart are
the two towers from each other (how wide is the opening of the river)?
(Round final answers to the nearest metre or degree)
