A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, whose beacon-light is 134 feet above the

water. From point A, the boat's crew measures the angle of elevation to the beacon,
16°, before they draw closer. They measure the angle of elevation a second time from
point B at some later time to be 21°. Find the distance from point A to point B.
Round your answer to the nearest foot if necessary.
