The horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship is 485.2 feet.

<h3>What is trigonometric ratio?</h3>

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of right angled triangle.

Let d represent the horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship. Since the angle of depression is 67°, hence:

Angle = 90 - 67 = 23°

Using trig ratio:

tan(23) = d/1143

d = 485.2 feet

The horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship is 485.2 feet.
