Answer: the height of the lighthouse is 838.8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle ABC illustrating the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
The angle of depression and angle A are alternate angles, hence, they are the equal.
The height, h of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine h, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 62 = h/446
h = 446tan62 = 446 × 1.8807
h = 838.8 feet to the nearest tenth.
