The angle of depression from the top of a lighthouse to an approaching ship is 5 degrees. The light house, which was built in 1903 is 75 ft tall and stands atop a 200 ft cliff. As the waves crash against the base of the cliff, the lighthouse keeper worries about the safety of the ship. In order to help the lighthouse keeper, you should calculate the distance from the base of the cliff to the ship.
