Question 3

(USA 3) Let $A$, $B$, and $C$ be three points on the edge of a circular chord such that $B$ is due west of $C$ and $ABC$ is an equilateral triangle whose side is 86 meters long. A boy swam from $A$ directly toward $B$. After covering a distance of $x$ meters, he turned and swam westward, reaching the shore after covering a distance of $y$ meters. If $x$ and $y$ are both positive integers, determine $y$.
