From the observation deck of a skyscraper, Ian measures a 48° angle of depression to a ship in the harbor below. If the observation deck is 871 feet high, what is the horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot if necessary.

A single-threaded (or single-start) square-thread screw is shown in Figure 5-6. The lead of a screw is the distance that the screw advances in one turn (revolution). The lead is equal to the pitch in a single-threaded screw. Given the number of turns and the amount of screw advance, determine the leads.
