Draw the picture.
\n" ); document.write( "Distance of ship from base of lighthouse = 250'/Tan(35 degrees)
\n" ); document.write( "= 357.03...'
\n" ); document.write( "Plane's height above the water = 250'+(357.03...)(Tan(22 degrees))
\n" ); document.write( "= 250' + 144.25' = 394.25... ft.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,
