Let AB be the height of the lighthouse,

∴ AB = 84 metres [Given]

The point 'C' be the position of the ship,

∴ ∠ ACB = 60

tan 60= Opposite side of 60/ Adjacent side of 60

∴ tan 60= AB / BC

∴ √3 = 84/BC

∴ BC = 84/√ 3

∴ BC = (84/√3)× √3/√3

∴ BC =  48.49m

∴ The ship is 48.49 m away from the lighthouse.
