Juan works in a tower overlooking the ocean. From a point on his tower at 200 feet above water level, he sees a boat sailing towards him at a 15 degree angle of depression. 1 minute later the angle of depression is 34 degrees. Assuming the boat remained on course, how far did the boat travel between observations? Round to nearest tenth with the correct unit of measure.
