Two surveyors stand at points AA and BB, 6060 m apart, on one bank of a river. Two trees PP and QQ stand on the far bank (the same side of line ABAB). The surveyors measure ∠BAP=105∘\angle BAP = 105^\circ, ∠ABP=45∘\angle ABP = 45^\circ, ∠BAQ=45∘\angle BAQ = 45^\circ, and ∠ABQ=105∘\angle ABQ = 105^\circ. Find the distance PQPQ, in metres, in simplest radical form.
