Answer:

509.35 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

16°23' means 16 degrees and 23 minutes.  A minute is 1/60 of a degree.

16°23' = 16 + (23/60) = 16.383°

Similarly:

49°29' = 49 + (29/60) = 49.483°

When the boat is first noticed:

tan(16.383°) = 200 / a

a = 200 / tan(16.383°)

a = 680.27

When the boat stops:

tan(49.483°) = 200 / b

b = 200 / tan(49.483°)

b = 170.92

So the difference is:

a − b = 680.27 − 170.92 = 509.35

The boat traveled 509.35 feet from the time it was first noticed to the time it stopped.

Attendance with the higher ticket price is ...

So the percentage change in attendance is ...

... change = (new - original)/original × 100%

... = (250 -300)/300 × 100% = -1/6×100% ≈ -17%
