To measure the distance through a mountain at ground level for a proposed tunnel, a point C is chosen (away from the mountain) that can be reached from each end of the tunnel. Call the endpoints of the tunnel A and B. if AC = 4000m, BC = 3000m, and angle C = 100 degrees, find the length AB of the tunnel
