Swamp Length From Computed Angles (Posted on 2023-10-13)

A swamp interferes with the direct measurement of a surveyline AB. Hence, an auxiliary point C is established and the distance AC is measured with an accuracy of 1 part in 1000. Then the angles BAC and ABC are found to be 45 and 30 degrees respectively, with a possible error of 2 minutes in each.

Find approximately the greatest possible percentage error in the computed length of AB.
