Answer:

x = 40 * \sqrt{3}  meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a 30-60-90 right triangle in this situation.

the height of this triangle is 40 meters

the opposite angle is 30 degrees.

use the tangent.

let x = distance between boat and cliff

tan 30 = 40/x

1/root (3) = 40/x

x = 40 * \sqrt{3}  meters

x=2y-------> equation 1

y=6*7-------> y=42 walnuts

substitute the value of y in equation 1

so

x=2*42-----> x=84 walnuts


therefore


the answer is
