Step 1 :Let the distance from point A to the lighthouse be $x$ and the distance from point B to the lighthouse be $y$. We have the following equations:
Step 2 :\(\tan(12^\circ) = \frac{126}{x}\)
Step 3 :\(\tan(25^\circ) = \frac{126}{y}\)
Step 4 :Solve the equations for $x$ and $y$:
Step 5 :\(x = \frac{126}{\tan(12^\circ)} \approx 592.78\)
Step 6 :\(y = \frac{126}{\tan(25^\circ)} \approx 270.21\)
Step 7 :Find the distance between points A and B, which is $x - y$:
Step 8 :\(x - y \approx 592.78 - 270.21 \approx 322.57\)
Step 9 :\(\boxed{323}\) feet is the distance between point A and point B.
