Finding missing length of an odd shaped trapezoid

My wife and I are interesting in purchasing a piece of land that is an odd-shaped Trapezoid. B1=129.98ft, B2=72.9ft, S1=445.36, S2=436.2. The area is approx 1.02 acres. Basically the lot is wider at the front and tapers in the back. The front=B1, the back=B2. I am trying to determine the approx width of the property at 200ft back. None of the angles are known and none are 90 degrees. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

For land, one tenth of a foot is way too precise, but a hundredth of a foot is REDICULOUS !! Math problems are often this silly. So, "give or take an inch or two" sounds much more like the precision that you would find on a survey map or on a title.
