Form a right triangle ABC with the given information, such that
AB = height of the point of observation =
BC=distance from the foot of the point to the first boat= ,
ACB =
Produce BC to D, such that ADB =
, and DC =distance between two boats=
Now we evaluate these values by using trigonometric functions.
In ABC
In ADB
by substituting value, we get
the boats are
apart.
