From the top of a tower 100 m high, a man observes the angles of depression of two ships A and B on opposite sides of the tower as 45° and 38° respectively. If the foot of the tower and the ships are in the same horizontal line, find the distance between ships A and B to the nearest metre. Use mathematical tables.
