How far is the ship from the rocks


A lighthouse that rises h1 = 48.6 ft above the surface of the water sits on a rocky cliff that extends $d$ = 20.4 ft from its base, as shown in the figure below. A sailor on the deck of a ship sights the top of the lighthouse at an angle of $theta$ = 29.6$circ$ above the horizontal. If the sailor's eye level is h2 = 12.7 ft above the water, how far is the ship from the rocks?
