Leaning Windmill After a wind storm, a farmer notices that his 32-foot windmill may be leaning, but he is not sure. From a point on the ground 31 feet from the base of the windmill, he finds that the angle of elevation to the top of the windmill is 48. Is the windmill leaning? If so, what is the acute angle the windmill makes with the ground?
