P and Q must be exchanged according to the specified angle.

The intersection in the middle is S.

Since only one side (AB=1795 m) and the opposite angle γ=100.8° are known in the upper triangle ASB, a calculation over a plurality of equations to be set could be quite expensive.

I therefore proceed in reverse, set PQ = 1000 m, calculate AB and calculate the scale factor.

By means of sine and cosine set, AB can be calculated from below to above:

AB = 788,1211. From this follows the scale factor m = 1795 / 788,1211 = 2,277568

PQ = 1000 m * 2,277568 = 2277,568 m

Angle QAB = 60,86°; angle ABP = 18,34°

All angles are known in the figure, in addition to the angles QAB and ABP.

Triangle PQS, with PQ = 1000 (sine set):

PS = sin(35,7°) * PQ / sin(100,8°) = 594,06371

SQ = sin(43,5°) * PQ / sin(100,8°) = 700,76709

Triangle SQB (sine set):

BQ = sin(79,2°) * SQ / sin(50,4°) = 893,37151

SB = sin(50,4°) * SQ / sin(50,4°) = 700,76709

Triangle PSA (sine set):

AS = sin(24,4°) * PS / sin(76,4°) = 252,48991

Triangle ASB (cosine set)

AB = √(AS2 + SB2 – 2 * AS * SB * cos(100,8°)) = 788,12112
