A support wire to the top of a newly planted tree is 15 m long. It forms an angle of 30° to the ground. On the same side of the tree, a second wire is also attached to the top of the tree, but it makes an angle of 45° to the ground. Determine an exact expression for the distance between the points where the two support wires are attached to the ground.
