Two stations P and Q, on the main survey line, were taken on the sides of a pond. On the right f PQ, a line PR, 210m long was laid down and another lie PS 260m long was laid down on the left of PQ. The points R, Q and S are on the same straight line. The measured lengths RQ and QS and are 85 m and 75 m, respectively. What is the length of PQ?
