Answer:

Distance between boat and light house = 223.88 meter (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of light house = 60 meters

Angle of depression to boat = 15°

Find:

Distance between boat and light house

Computation:

Using trigonometry application:

Tanθ = Perpendicular / Base

Tan 15 = Height of light house / Distance between boat and light house

0.268 = 60 / Distance between boat and light house

Distance between boat and light house = 60 / 0.268

Distance between boat and light house = 223.88 meter (Approx.)

Answer:

It is 40 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start off by understanding this is not a right angle (exactly 90 degrees, think of a corner of a room) or and obtuse angle (more than 90 degrees, bigger than a right angle). With that information we know that it is an acute angle (less than 90 degrees, smaller than a right angle). With that we have 40 and 50 degrees left. When you compare the angle with the 40 degrees one, it is the same size. The angle 1 is a reflection of the triangle with the 40 degrees angle. Hope this helps :)
