Angle of Depression = 30°
Height of cliff = 80m
tan 30° = Height of cliff / distance of cliff from boat
1/√3 = 80 / distance of cliff from boat
Distance of cliff from boat = 80√3
= 80 x 1.732
Therefore, Distance of boat from the cliff = 138.56 m
Thus, distance of boat from the foot of the cliff is 138.56m.
