Answer: The boat moved 768.51 feet  in that time .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height of the lighthouse = 1000 feet

Angle depression to boat 'a' = 29°

Angle of depression  to shore 'b' = 44°

Consider ΔABC,

\tan 44\textdegree=\frac{AB}{BC}\\\\\tan 44\textdegree=\frac{1000}{BC}\\\\BC=\frac{1000}{\tan 44\textdegree}\\\\BC=1035.53\ feet

Now, Consider, ΔABD,

\tan 29\textdegree=\frac{AB}{BD}\\\\\tan 29\textdegree=\frac{1000}{BD}\\\\BD=\frac{1000}{\tan 29\textdegree}\\\\BD=1804.04\ feet

We need to find the distance that the boat moved in that time i.e. BC

so,

DC=BD-BC\\\\CD=1804.04-1035.53\\\\CD=768.51\ feet

Hence, the boat moved 768.51 feet  in that time .
