Width of a river is 60m . A swimmer wants to cross the river such that he reaches from A to B directly. Point B is 45m ahead of line AC (perpendicular to river) Assume speed of river and speed of swimmer as equal. Swimmer must try to swim at angle `theta` with line AC .If the value of `theta` (in degrees) is `N^(2)` .Find N
