  120/tan(45)=28
  
  120/tan(60)= 16.1658
  
  28-16.1658 = 11.8342 m

  tan(60) = 28/x
  28/tan(60) = x
  x = 16.1658
  
  tan(45) = 28/y
  28/tan(45) = y
  y = 28
  
  Distance between the 2 men = 28 + 16.1658
  =44.17

  tan45 = x/28
  28 (tan45) = x = 28
  
  tan30 = 28/y
  y (tan30) = 28
  y = 28 / tan30 = 48.4974
  
  28 + 48.4974 = 76.4974
