Answer:

220.1238 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the cliff and the distance of the ship from the base of the ship are the opposite and adjacent side of angle from ship, respectively. So, you shall use tan function; tan(θ) = opposite/adjacent

tan(28°) = x/414

x = 414tan(28°)  

x = 414 × 0.5317 = 220.1238 meters
