The area of any triangle is the base times the height divided by 2. So a triangle having a base of 7 ft. and a height of 4 ft. has an area of 14 sq. ft. Since the windmill has 4 blades with such a shape, the total area is 4 times the area of each blade, which is 56 sq. ft.

How is the wind energy captured by the windmill?

Wind energy is captured by the windmill blades as they spin due to the force of the wind. The blades are shaped to capture the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then converted into electricity through a generator located inside the windmill.


Which way does a windmill spin?

However the blades are oriented. Look at a ceiling fan, the blades are shaped so that it will blow air down (there's a switch on there to make it spin and suck air up). A windmill is made to spin when wind blows and this rotates the handle on a pump to make water come out of a well.
