Answer:

743.41 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question it is given that height of the tower OS is 175 feet and angle of depression ∠ASB = 13°15'

angle of depression to the boat B will be equal to the angle of elevation "∠B"

Now  ∠ASB = 13°15' ≈ 13° + (\frac{15}{60})°

= 13° + (0.25)°

= 13.25°

Now tan ∠B = \frac{SO}{OB}

 tan (13.25) =  \frac{175}{x}

            x     =  \frac{175}{0.2354}

                   = 743.41 feet.

Motorboat is 743.41 feet far from the shore.

Using a right triangle formed by boat with base and top of lighthouse.Note: 15 minutes = 0.25 degreesLet d be distance the boat is from shore.tan(90−13.25)=d/175
d=175∗tan(76.75)=743.2
