The question is a little hard to understand... let me see what i can do. I'll edit what i figure out on here. :) (PS) Did you reword the question? Do you think you could double check and make sure this is what the question looks like?

Started her day with a full bag of apples (?)
She needs 3 for an apple pie
She had 12 total (?)

Or maybe she needs 12 for a pie and now she has 3?

Nick wanted to determine the length of one blade of a windmill. He stood at a point on the ground 440 feet from the windmill's b

Answer:There are two right triangles. You need to find the opposite side (the height) of each of them. The difference between the two is the height of the blade, x.

You know the adjacent, 440, and you are looking for the opposite, so you need to use tan for both.

tan (30) = y / 440

y = 440 * tan (30) = 254.034...

tan (38.8) = z / 440

y = 440 * tan (38.8) = 353.769.--

353.8 - 254.0 = 99.8 = 100 feet.
