The distance across the lake, a is 611 yards
<h3>Right angle triangle:</h3>
Right angle triangle have one of its angles as 90 degrees. Therefore, the side a can be found using trigonometric ratios,
Therefore,
tan 47° = opposite / adjacent
tan 47° = a / 570
cross multiply
a = 570 tan 47°
a = 570 × 1.07236871002
a = 611.250164714
a = 611 yards

Answer:
∠AEC = 139°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since EC bisects ∠BED then ∠BEC = ∠CED = 4x + 1
∠AED = ∠AEB + ∠BEC + ∠CED = 180 ← straight angle
Substitute values into the equation
11x - 12 + 4x + 1 + 4x + 1 = 180, that is
19x - 10 = 180 ( add 10 to both sides )
19x = 190 ( divide both sides by 19 )
x = 10
Hence
∠AEC = ∠AEB + ∠BEC = 11x - 12 + 4x + 1 = 15x - 11, hence
∠AEC = (15 × 10) - 11 = 150 - 11 = 139°

Answer:
14 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector divides the sides proportionally, so you have ...
(x+4)/8 = (2x+1)/12
3(x +4) = 2(2x +1) . . . . . . multiply by 24
3x +12 = 4x +2 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
10 = x . . . . . . . . . . . subtract (3x+2)
Then BD = x+4 = 10 +4.
The length of BD is 14 units.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The "triangle" cannot exist, as the side lengths are shown as 8, 12, and 35. The long side is too long. Nice math; bad geometry.
