Question
Write the value of $\begin{vmatrix}\sin20^{\circ}&-\cos20^{\circ}\\\sin70^{\circ}&\cos70^{\circ}\end{vmatrix}$
✓

Answer

Let $\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\sin20^{\circ}&-\cos20^{\circ}\\\sin70^{\circ}&\cos70^{\circ}\end{vmatrix}$
$=\sin20^{\circ}\cos70^{\circ}+\cos20^{\circ}\sin70^{\circ}$
$=\sin(20^{\circ}+70^{\circ})$ [trignometric identity]
$=\sin90^{\circ}$
$=1$
