A lighthouse sits at the edge of a cliff, as shown. A ship at sea level is 825 meters from the base of the cliff. The angle of elevation from sea level to the base of the lighthouse is 37.2°. The angle of elevation from sea level to the top of the lighthouse is 38.3°. Find the height of the lighthouse from the top of the cliff. Do not round any intermediate computations. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Note that the figure below is not drawn to scale.
