A hot-air balloon is rising vertically. The angle of elevation from a point on level ground 124 feet from the balloon to a point directly under the passenger compartment changes from 16.6° to 32.3°. How far, to the nearest tenth of a foot, does the balloon rise during this period? 32.3° 116.6° 124 ft feet (Round to the nearest tenth.)
