A 1.4m tall girl sports a balloon moving with the wind in a horizontal line at a height of 91.4m from the ground. The angle of elevation of the balloon from the eyes of the girl at that instant is `60^@` . After some time ,the angle of elevation reduces to `30^@`. Find the distance travelled by the balloon during that interval. Take `sqrt 3`=1.732.
