The tallest lighthouse in the world is the Jeddah Light. It is 133 m tall. A dhow is sailing away from this lighthouse. From the top of the lighthouse, the angle of depression to the dhow is 65° Later, the angle of depression has changed to 40°.

How far did the dhow travel during that time?

The tallest lighthouse in the world is the Jeddah Light. It is 133 m tall. A dhow is sailing away from this lighthouse. From the top of the lighthouse, the angle of depression to the dhow is 65° Later, the angle of depression has changed to 40°.

How far did the dhow travel during that time?

To solve this problem, we can use trigonometry and the fact that the angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

Let's call the distance between the lighthouse and the dhow "d".

We know that the angle of depression from the top of the lighthouse to the dhow is 65°, and the angle of depression later changed to 40°.

Let's call the angle between the horizontal and the line of sight from the lighthouse to the dhow, "x"

Since the angles in a triangle add up to 180°, we can say that:

x + 65 + 40 = 180

x = 75

Now, we can use the tangent function to find the distance d. We know that:

tan(x) = d / h

tan(75) = d / 133

d = 133 * tan(75)

Therefore, the dhow traveled 133 * tan(75) distance during that time.
