A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 120 ft and 165 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenna and anchored to the ground at two anchor points on opposite sides of the antenna. The shorter wire makes an angle of 67° with the ground. How far apart are the anchor points? Round the answer to the nearest foot.
