A triangular lot ABC has a bearing and distance of line AB to be N 40deg E and 800m and CA equal to 960m long. The lot is to be divided such that the area of APO is only of the area of ABC. Point O is along the line AB and point P is along the line CA. Compute the distance AO and the dividing line PO. The area of triangle ABC is 300, 000 sq. m. AP is equal to 600m long.
