Two inaccessible` objects A and B are each viewed from two transit stations C and D, on one side of AB, with station C nearest object A. At station C, angle ACB was measured as 93 degrees while angle ACD equals 126 degrees. Distance CD is equal to 675m. The transit was moved to station D and angles ADC and CDB were measured as 24deg, 45min and 104deg, respectively. What is the distance between the inaccessible objects?
