Solve a complex moving object problem.
A 1.2 m tall girl spots a balloon moving with the wind in a horizontal line at a height of 88.2 m from the ground. The angle of elevation of the balloon from the eyes of the girl at any instant is 60°. After some time, the angle of elevation reduces to 30°. Find the distance travelled by the balloon during the interval. Include your calculation steps and explain how you accounted for the girl's height.
Enter your final calculated distance.
Explain how you set up the two right triangles to find the distance.
