Sometimes we want to find the distance between two points that cannot be reliably accessed by foot (for instance, in the thickest parts of the rainforest). Suppose there are two points, X and Y (where X is further to the west than Y). A plane flies overhead and takes measurements from Point P: the distance between X (on the ground) and P (in the air) is 960 meters, angle XPY measures , and angle PYX measures . Find the distance between X and Y to the nearest meter.
