Question

An architect forgot his measuring equipment and needs to calculate the distance between two buildings from his location at point A. He knows the distances from A to the two buildings, which are 150 m and 220 m, respectively. Additionally, you have information about the angle formed by your current position "A" and the line joining the two buildings, which is 29.4", What is the distance between the two buildings?
