The mistake is in the second triangle and is noticeable at first because the length of the leg is longer than the length of the hypotenuse.

Since this is a 30 60 90 triangle, you can use the properties that apply to them. I'm assuming that the leg with the length of 62ft is the given side. Using the rules, we know that x/2 is 62 (since the properties of a 30 60 90 triangle state that the shortest side is x/2). In order to find the hypotenuse (which is x), we can multiply both sides of the equation x/2 = 62 to get x = 124. To find the second leg, we need to use sqrt(3)*x/2, which when you plug in 124, gives 107.39. Andrea just switched the lengths of the second leg and the hypotenuse on accident.
