Emi is standing on a 50 m high bridge and sees two boats below. From her position, boat A has a bearing of 230°, and boat B has bearing of 120°. Emi estimates the angles of depression to be 38° and 35° for boat A and B, respectively. How far apart are the boats to the nearest tenth of a metre (one decimal place) ? S0 m 120° 230
