Answer:

1548.66 feet

Explanation:

We can draw a straight line down the middle to form two right triangles

This will split the 70 degree angle into two 35 degree angles

We now have two 90-35-55 right triangles

Now we can use cos(55) * the hypotenuse on both sides to get the distance across the lake

Thus we have:

1200cos(55 = 688.29

1500cos(55 = 860.36

Best of luck
