Two ships are sailing in the sea on either side of a lighthouse. The angles of depression of the two ships as observed from the top of the lighthouse are $60^\circ$ and $45^\circ$. If the lighthouse is 300 m high, find the distance between the two ships.

Options:

• A: 300(1 + √3) m
• B: 100(3 + √3) m
• C: 300(1 + 1/√3) m
• D: 200√3 m
