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 sometime, the angle of elevation reduces to 30º. Find the distance travelled by the balloon during the interval.

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. Theangle of elevation of the balloon from the eyes of the girl at any instant is 60°. After sometime, the angle of elevation reduces to 30º. Find the distance travelled by the balloon during the interval.
⎟⎟✪✪ ANSWER ✪✪⎟⎟
✿✿ Refer to Image first ✿✿
◆ Height of balloon from tower=88.2m
◆ Height of the girl = 1.2 m
◆ Angles of elevations = 60° and 30°
◆ Let the distance travelled = d m
From the figure
tan 60° = 87/x
➜ √3 = 87/x
➜ 87 = √3 x ━━━━ᐳ ➀
➜ x = 87/√3 m
Also tan 30° = 87/x+d
➜ 1/√3 = 87/x+d
➜ 87 = x+d/√3 ━━━━ᐳ ➁
From ➀ and ➁
➜ √3x = x+d/√3
➜ √3 ᐧ √3x = x + d
➜ 3x = x + d
➜ 2x =d
Distance travelled = 2 × 87/√3
➜ 2×29×√3×√3 / √3
➜ 58√3 m
The distance travelled by the balloon
during the interval = 58√3 m

HEY HERE IS UR ANSWER :
let the initial position of the balloon be A and final position be B.
Height of balloon above the girl height = 88.2 m - 1.2 m = 87 m
Distance travelled by the balloon =
DE = CE - CD
A/q,
In right ΔBEC,
tan 30° = BE/CE
⇒ 1/√3= 87/CE
⇒ CE = 87√3 m
also,
In right ΔADC,
tan 60° = AD/CD
⇒ √3= 87/CD
⇒ CD = 87/√3 m = 29√3 m
Distance travelled by the balloon = DE = CE - CD = (87√3 - 29√3) m
= 29√3(3 - 1) m
= 58√3 m
