West.
tan theta = opposite/adjacent
you have opposite, 90 feet, you want adjacent ( degree mode)
tan 34 degrees = 90 feet/adj.
adjacent = 90 feet/tan 34 degrees
= 133.4 feet
------------------------same for east
tan 58 degrees = 90 feet/adj.
adjacent = 90 feet/tan 58 degrees
= 56.2 feet
-------------------
133.4 feet + 56.2 feet
= 190 feet is the distance 2 deer are apart

Why does a 45 degree angle shot go farther than 90 or 0 degree angle shots?
45 Degrees is exactly between 90 and 0 degrees so it is the maximim shot. If you shoot something 90 degrees it would go straight up. If you shoot somthing 0 degrees it hits the ground fastest because of gravity. But the 45 degree angle allows for the most lift and distance for an object to travel.
