An observer in a lighthouse 350 feet above sea level observes two ships directly offshore. The angles of depression to the ships are 4° and 6.5°. How far apart are the ships?

Verified Answer :

BP= 3091.79

AB/sin 2.5° = 3091.79/sin 4°

3091.785015 sin 2.5° = 134.8617682

134.8617682/sin 4° = 1933.33
