PLEASE THIS IS TIMED, PLEASE HELP ME ANSWER THIS QUESTION!

A power failure on the bridge of a Great Lakes freighter has resulted in the ship's navigator having to do her own calculations. She measures the angle between the ship's course and a lighthouse on shore as 32°. After the ship has travelled 1500 m, she measures the angle to be 72°. Determine if the ship was closer to or farther from the lighthouse at the second sighting, and by what distance
