A fighter jet, flying at an altitude of 1000 m is approaching a target. At a particular time the pilot measures the angle of depression to the target to be 12°. After a minute, the pilot measures the angle of depression again and finds it to be 18°. Find the distance AC. Round your answer to the nearest meter.
