∙ 14y agoUse the tangent ratio to solve this problem because in effect you have the outline of a right angle triangle:
tan = opp/adj
adj = opp/tan
adj = 60.50/tan 20.24 degrees
The boat is 164.0806104 (or 164)) metres from the base of the cliff.

Use the tangent ratio: 250*tan(62.2) = 474.1671924 250*tan(59.5) = 424.4157798 Subtracting one from the other is the height of the tower which is about 50 meters.
Cliff Cola is the most famous cliff in South America.
Answer: 44 meters
There are two major steps in solving this problem. First, we have to figure out how long it takes a monkey to fall 10m. Second, we divide the distance from the base of the cliff by the number of seconds to estimate the unfortunate simian's velocity. To get the time the monkey falls, (assuming this is on Earth with gravitational acceleration equal to 9.8 m / s), use the equation d = 4.9t2 . t = sqrt(d/4.9). Filling in the given value for d (10m) we get t = sqrt (10/4.9) which is about 1.43 seconds. If the monkey travelled outward 5m from the edge of the cliff in 1.43 seconds, the furry fellow was going 5m / 1.43s or about 3.5 m/s. Why the monkey chose to do the Acapulco Cliff Dive remains a mystery known only to him, and he is not talking.
Angle of depression equals angle of elevation (alternate angles) So use the tangent ratio to find the distance of the two ships are from the base of the cliff: 104.6672838 - 83.36285007 = 21.30443373 meters apart.
Using trigonometry and the tangent ratio its height is 135 meters to the nearest meter.

Actually, the question is unanswerable. You need to at least know the height of one object - either the ship, or the cliff height, or the distance between the cliff to the water, and the cliff to the boat. I don't know if it can be answered, it doesn't give enough information one would have to have one distance value or speed value. I think at least.
An overhanging cliff is a section of rock or land that juts out horizontally or at an angle, creating a ledge or protrusion. It typically extends beyond the vertical face of the cliff, creating a significant drop-off below the overhang. Overhanging cliffs can be found in natural landscapes such as mountains or can be formed artificially in construction projects.
A very steep, high cliff is a precipice. This is the very edge of the cliff.
The distance to the horizon from the shore depends on the height of the observer's eyes above sea level. On average, a person standing at sea level on the shore can see approximately 3 miles to the horizon. If the observer is standing at a higher elevation, such as on a cliff or in a tall building, they can see farther.
A cliff is a steep rock face or slope that is often found along the coastline or in mountainous areas.
Bluff
The sand on a beach below a sea cliff likely originated from the erosion of the cliff itself. Over time, waves and weathering break down the rock of the cliff into smaller particles, which are then deposited on the beach. This process is a common natural occurrence in coastal environments.

Use trigonometry and the tangent ratio: tan = opp/adj and when rearranged adj (the ship's distance) = opp/tan adj = 30/tan(6) = 285.4309336 Therefore the ship is just over 285 feet from shore. Remember that the angle of depression is the same as the angle of elevation because they are alternate angles.
