Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC & ΔADE are similar triangles

$\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{DE}{BC}\\\\\frac{12}{4}=\frac{12}{x}\\$

Cross multiply,

12*x = 12*4

$x=12*\frac{4}{12}\\$

x = 1 * 4

x = 4

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The boat is 5727.25ft far from the coast

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the figure given.

We need to find how far is the boat from the coast = AB

Angle of elevation = 2°

The lighthouse on the coast is 200 feet tall, AC = 200 ft

We have

$tan2=\frac{AC}{AB}=\frac{200}{AB}\\\\AB=\frac{200}{tan2}=5727.25ft$

The boat is 5727.25ft far from the coast
