Tom is looking at a 2500 m statue. This statue is located in the middle of two points on the same line, Point K and Point L. Tom is standing 12 m from Point K and 16 m from Point L. Tom also knows the distance between Point K and L is 12.9 m. Tom can see both points at an angle of 52 degrees. Given this information, if Tom decides to web-sling on top of the statue, how long will the web-sling be? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
