Know that cos(x)=sin(90-x)
likewise sin(x)=cos(90-x)

anonymous · Answer

ya I got that.... just don't know where to go from there

anonymous · Answer

so just change sin() into cos()

anonymous · Answer

ok but thats still not one of the choices for an answer

anonymous · Answer

cos(70)cos(65)-cos(20)cos(35)

anonymous · Answer

When you solve this you should get numerical answer of about  -.625
Take arcos of this then you will get 128. which is close to 135
