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^@` (see fig.). Find the distance travelled by the balloon during the interval.
