Carl spies a potential Sasquatch nest at a bearing of N10 oE and radios Jeff, who is at a bearing of N50oE from Carl's position. From Jeff's position, the nest is at a bearing of S70oW. If Jeff and Carl are 500 feet apart, how far is Jeff from the Sasquatch nest? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot
