The horizontal distance between light house and boat is 1588.78 feet approximately.
The figure is given by,
Here, AB = height of the lighthouse bacon light above the water = 139 feet
Now angle ACB = 5 degree
Let the horizontal distance of light house from the boat = BC = x feet
So by trigonometric function we get,
tan 5 = AB/BC
tan 5 = 139/x
x = 139/tan 5 = 1588.78 (approximately)
Hence the horizontal distance between light house and boat is 1588.78 feet approximately.
