Answer:
Explanation:
The vessel, base of the light house and top of the light house form a right triangle.
50 m side is opposite of 12° angle.
Let the distance between the vessel and the base of the light house is x.
Relationship between the legs is:
- tan 12° = 50/x
- x = 50 / tan 12°
- x = 235.23 m ≈ 235 m
