From the given provided, we can form a right triangle as shown in the attached diagram. Since we have the statue's height and the angle formed between the top of the boat and the statue we can use the properties of the tangent function below.
From this, we can see that the side adjacent to the angle has a measurement of 188 m. This is actually the distance between boat and the base of the statue.
Answer: 188 m
