The horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship is 349.8feet

Angle of elevation and depression

The angle situated above the hill is known as  the angle of depression

Given the following parameters

Height of the harbor = 824 feet

Angle of depression = 67degrees

According to SOH CAH TOA identity:

tan 67 = opp/adj
tan 67 = 824/d

d = 824/tan67
d = 349.8 feet

Hence the horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship is 349.8feet
