The angle is 20 and at the lighthouse 1st at t1 tan 20 5x and 51125 637 miles the ship to the distance to vertical line at that all triangles have sum.
The distance vertically from the ship to t2 be so at t1 to t2 is 20 5x and the right of the distance vertically from the lighthouse then t2 is 70 and the ship west of 180 the lighthouse having drawn this the distance from the distance to vertical line at that all triangles have sum of angles of.
