a tourist looks out from the crown of the statue of liberty, approximately 250 . above ground. the tourist sees a ship coming into the harbor and measures the angle of depression as 18 degrees. Find the distance from the base of the statue to the ship to the nearest foot.

Let the distance from the base of the statue to the ship be d, thentan 18 = 250/dd = 250 / tan 18 = 769.4The distance from the base of the statue to the ship to the nearest foot is 769 feet.
