Two lookout towers have been set up to keep a watch on forest fires. The two towers are represented by the points A and C in the figure. A fire is spotted at point B and each tower measures the angle from the opposite tower to the fire as shown in the figure. If the distance between the two towers is 772 meters, what is the distance, in meters, from the tower at point C to the fire? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.)
