Problem

A bird watcher spots an eagle sitting on top of a vertical tree. From point AA on the ground, the angle of elevation is 60∘60^{\circ}. From a point BB, on the exact opposite side of the tree such that AA, the tree base, and BB are collinear, the angle of elevation is 30∘30^{\circ}. If the tree is 30 m30\,\text{m} high, find the distance between points AA and BB.
