Answer:

15.95 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angle of elevation = 62°

Using trigonometric relation :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

From the drawing attached :

Opposite = 30 feets

Distance between girl and lighthouse = d

Tan 62 = 30 / d

1.8807264 * d = 30

d = 30 / 1.8807264

d = 15.951283

d = 15.95 feets
