A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, where Feng is watching from a vertical
distance of 127 feet above the water. Feng measures an angle of depression to the
boat at point A to be 5°. At some later time, Feng takes another measurement and
finds the angle of depression to the boat (now at point B) to be 57°. Find the distance
from point A to point B. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if
necessary.
