A vertical tower stands on level ground. From a point PP on the ground 1616 m from the base of the tower, the angle of elevation of its top is θ\theta. From a point RR on the ground 44 m from the base, the angle of elevation of the top is 90∘−θ90^\circ - \theta. From a third point QQ on the ground, the angle of elevation of the top is 2θ2\theta. How far is QQ from the base of the tower, in metres?
