Homework Answers
forming a right angled triangle
applying tan rule
tan 42 = 368 / x
x = 368 / tan 42
x = 408.71 feet
so, ship is 408.71 feet away from base of lighthouse

There is a 75 foot tall wall and the target is located 150 feet past it. The target is 50 feet wide - we will ignore the height of the target and assume that anything that lands within the area of its base would hit the target. The catapault always launches rocks at a 45 degree angle - to make life easy we will assume that they are launched from a height of 0 feet. Your program should read in...
