A person is standing on a cliff that is 200ft above a body of water. The person looks down at an angle of depression of 35o at a sailboat. Then the person looks at a yacht that is further out at an angle of depression of 12o. What is the distance (in feet) between the sailboat and the yacht? (Round to the nearest foot)
