Joanne wanted to determine the length of one blade of the windmill pictured below. She stood at a point on the ground 440 feet from the windmill's base. Using surveyor's tools, Joanne measured the angle between the ground and the highest point reached by the top blade and found it was 38.8°. She also measured the angle between the ground and the lowest point of the top blade, and found it was 30°. Determine and state a blade's length, x, to the nearest foot. 38.8° 30° 440 ft
