Answer:
The ship is approximately 14 meters from shore
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance between the ship and the lighthouse be x
From the diagram:
Tan (25) = [tex]\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent} = \frac{30}{x}[/tex]
0.466 = [tex]\frac{30}{x}[/tex]
∴ [tex]x[/tex] = 30× 0.466 = 13.98 = 14 m ( to the nearest meter)
Therefore, the ship is 14 meters from shore
