Answer:

D. 191

Explanation:

To calculate this you need to imagine triangle which points are:

boat

Top of lighthouse

Bottom of lighthouse

That triangle has 90 degrees angle at bottom of lighthouse. That means that we can use trigonometry to determine length between boat and bottom of lighthouse

tan(25) = 89/x

x = 89/tan(25)

x = 190.86

after rounding, your final answer would be 191 feet.
