From a point AA the angle of elevation to a stationary balloon is 40∘40^\circ. From point BB, which lies 300300 m farther from the point directly below the balloon (with AA, BB, and that point collinear), the angle of elevation is 25∘25^\circ. Find the height of the balloon. Round to 2 decimal places (an exact answer is also accepted).
