To find the height of the lighthouse, we can use trigonometry.
Let's denote the height of the lighthouse as h. According to the given information, we have:
tan(35º) = h / 8.6
Now, we can solve for h:
h = 8.6 * tan(35º)
h = 8.6 * 0.7002
h = 6.02 m
Therefore, the height of the lighthouse is approximately 6.02 meters.
