A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, whose beacon-light is ig6 feet above the water. From point A, the boat's crew measures the angle of elevation to the beacon, 13, before they draw closer. They measure the angle of elevation a second time from point B at some later time to be 22. Find the distance from point A to point B. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessarv
