Two planets follow a circular orbit around a central star in the same plane. The distance between the star at point S and one planet at point A is 135 million miles. The distance between the star and the other planet at point B is 100 million miles. If an observer on the first planet at point A sights the second planet such that ∠ S A B = 42 ° find the distance between the planets. Round to the nearest million miles.
