Two ships are there in the sea on either of a lighthouse in such away that the ships and the lighthouse are in the same straight line. The angle of depression of two ships are observed from the top of the lighthouse are 60° and 45° respectively. If the height of the lighthouse is 200 m and the distance between the two ships is k m, then find the value of k (correct up to two decimal places). (3=1.732)
