using radians... \[\frac{175}{\tan\left(\frac{(13+15/60)\pi}{180}\right)}\]
Alternatively, using a right triangle formed by boat with base and top of lighthouse. Note: 15 minutes = 0.25 degrees Let d be distance the boat is from shore. \[\tan (90 - 13.25) = \frac{d}{175}\] \[d = 175*\tan (76.75) = 743.2\]
