Answer:

<h3>AB ≈ 70m</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

You can see from the diagram that it is a right angled triangle with opposite side AB and adjacent side BC. Using SOH, CAH, TOA trig identity to get the length of AB. According to TOA;

tan 35° = opposite/adjacent

tan 35° = AB/BC

tan 35° = AB/100

AB = 100tan35°

AB = 100 * 0.7002

AB = 70.02m

Hence the distance across a lake between A and B is approximately 70m

Answer:

The answer is x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

so you have -4x-2=-18

so we get rid of -2 by adding it to the other side so you'll end up having -4x=-16

you then divide that by -4 on both sides and get x=4 as your remaining answer

Answer:

The trigonometric equation  (sin Θ − cos Θ)^2 − (sin Θ + cos Θ)^3 can be simplified by:Using x for Θ: (sinx - cosx)^2 - (sinx + cosx)^2 = (sin^2 x - 2sinxcosx + cos^2 x) - (sin^2 x + 2sinxcosx + cos^2 x) = - 2 sinx cosx - 2 sinx cosx = - 4 sinx cosx = - 2sin(2x)
