Inaccessible 69794

Determine the distance between two inaccessible places P, Q, if the distance between two observation points A, B is 2000m and if you know the size of the angles QAB = 52°40''; PBA = 42°01''; PAB = 86°40'' and QBA = 81°15''. The considered locations A, B, P, and Q lie in one plane.

Correct answer:

x =  1633.4982 m
