Answer:

Jim is 12.87 meters away from the shark.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Distance between Jim and Tara = 20 meters.

The angle of depression of the shark from Jim and Tara is 47° and 40° respectively as shown in the figure below.

So, the third angle of the triangle formed is given by,

47° + 40° + ∠S = 180°

i.e. ∠S = 180° - 87°

i.e. ∠S =93°

So, now using the sine ratio formula, we have,

\frac{20}{\sin 93}=\frac{x}{\sin 40}

i.e. x=\frac{20\times 0.6428}{0.9986}

i.e. x=\frac{12.856}{0.9986}

i.e. x = 12.87 meters

Thus, Jim is 12.87 meters away from the shark.
