Solution:
The given image shows, it is right triangle.
Height = 50 km
Base = 130 km
Hypotenuse = ?
Using Pythagoras theorem,
<em>In right triangle, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.</em>
Taking square root on both sides, we get
Hypotenuse =
Hypotenuse = 139.28 km
The distance between the ship and the light house is 139.28 km.
