The ship's horizontal distance from the lighthouse is 1930.59 feet. Using trigonometric ratio 'tanθ' the distance is calculated.

<h3>What are trigonometric ratios?</h3>

The trigonometric ratios are used for determining the lengths of the right-angled triangle. There are six basic trigonometric ratios. they are:

sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse

cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse

tan θ = opposite/adjacent

sec θ = hypotenuse/adjacent

cosec θ = hypotenuse/opposite

cot θ = adjacent/opposite

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

It is given that,

The height of the bacon-light is 135 feet above the water

Consider the horizontal distance between the boat and the lighthouse = x feet

The angle of elevation is given as 4°

Constructing a model as below in the figure.

From the trigonometric ratios, we have

tan θ = 135/x

⇒ tan 4° = 135/x

⇒ x = 135/tan 4°

∴ x = 1930.589 feet ≅ 1930.59 feet (rounding to the nearest hundredth of a foot)

Therefore, the ship's horizontal distance from the lighthouse is 1930.59 feet.
