Since we have a right angle triangle and we know two of its sides we can easily find out the thirds side (the value of d) by using the Pathagoras Theorem. In our case 7 and d are our legs and the hypotenuse is equal to 9, so...

(Based on the Pathagoras Theorem)

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$

$9^{2} = 7^{2} + d^{2}$

$d^{2} = 9^{2} - 7^{2} \\d^{2} = 81 - 49\\d^{2} = 32\\d = \sqrt{32}\\$

d ≈ 5.7km

There for aproximate distance across the lake is equal to 5.7km

Answer:

g(h(- 8)) = 119

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate h(- 8), then substitute the result obtained into g(x), that is

h(- 8) = (- 8)² - 2 = 64 - 2 = 62, then

g(62) = 2(62) - 5 = 124 - 5 = 119
