Answer:

1.24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angle of depression is 0.7 degrees, we can use the tangent of the angle to find the relation between the distance from the lighthouse to the ship and the observer's elevation.

tangent(0.7) = observer's elevation / distance from the lighthouse to the ship

0.012218 = 80 / D

D = 80/0.012218 = 6547.72 feet

Now, converting from feet to miles, we have:

D = 6547.72/5280 = 1.24 miles
