Let us depict a picture according to question

Now, let one ship is x meter away and another ship is y meter away from the lighthouse.

Here, AD = 100 meter = height of lighthouse

$∠$ ABD = 45 $°$ and $∠$ ACD = 30 $°$

From $∆$ ADC.

tanθ = $\frac{A D}{D C}$

= tan 30 $°$ = $\frac{100}{x}$

$= \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{100}{x} ∴ x = 100 \sqrt{3} A g a i n, f r o m ∆ A B D \tan θ = \frac{A D}{B D} = \tan 45 ° = \frac{100}{y} = 1 = \frac{100}{y} ∴ y = 100 ∵ T h e d i s \tan c e b e t w e e n t h e t w o s h i p s w i l l b e = x + y = 100 \sqrt{3} + 100 = 100 (1.73 + 1) = 100 (2.73) = 273 (a n s w e r)$

The economic growth of Bangladesh decelerated to 5.24 percent in FY20 from 8.15 percent in FY19 in the aftermath of the economic slowdown caused by a government-declared lock down to prevent the contagion of COVID-19 pandemic. Bangladesh's government and Bangladesh Bank undertook a range of coordinated fiscal, monetary, and macro-prudential policy actions which included stimulus packages and easy credit availability in order to cushion Bangladesh's economy from the fallout from the pandemic. The overriding objectives of these policy measures are to minimize the negative impacts of the pandemic and to bring economic activities back to the pre-COVID-19 level. These policy measures are expected to make financing conditions easy for investors, entrepreneurs bodies who now can access more favorable financing sources to resume their business in full swing It is hat the economy will recuperate from lost investment and consumption and bounce back to the economic growth momentum observed in the last decade.

Tsunamis are not as common as other whether related disasters, but they can cause significant damage. The word tsunami comes from a Japanese word meaning "long harbor wave'. Today, scientist use the term to define seismic sea waves generated by undersea earthquakes or undersea landslides and volcanic eruptions. Most tsunamis occur along the Ring of Fire, a wave of volcanic and earthquake activity that encircles the Pacific Ocean. The Haw Allan Islands and Alaska areas are common for this type of disaster. Tsunami waves have long lengths and travel very fast in deep water. Upon reaching the shore, the speed of the wave decrease, but the height increases dramatically causing massive damage to coastlines. The Tsunami Warning System has helped in warning people of these disasters, but more research and technology is needed to improve the predictions of this natural disaster. (Translate into Bangla)
