You are on a ship at sea. You see a lighthouse in the distance. You know the lighthouse is 145 feet tall. You measure the angle of elevation to the top of the lighthouse at 5 degrees. How far are you from the bottom of the lighthouse? *

Answer:

1657.14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan = opposite / adjacent

tan 5 = 145 / adjacent

0.0875 =  145 / adjacent

adjacent = 145 / 0.0875

= 1657.14 ft
