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 the angle of elevation to a hot-air balloon to be 58°. At the same instant the observer at Q measures the angle of elevation to the balloon to be 65°. If P is 60 m down the hill from Q, find the distance from Q to the balloon. (Round your answer to the nearest meter.) 60 m
