Question
Two observers at P and Q are located on the side of a hill that is inclined 32° to the horizontal, as shown. The observer at P determines that the angle of elevation toward a hot air balloon is 62°. At the same time, the observer at Q measures the angle of elevation to the balloon to be 71°. If P is 60 meters downhill from Q, find the distance from Q to the balloon.
