could u plz explain this answer
thank you

http://www.sosmath.com/trig/Trig5/trig5/trig5.html look at the sum and difference formulas

To evaluate sin (60 degrees + theta) - cos(30 degrees - theta), we can use trigonometric identities and basic algebraic manipulations.

Let's start by using the sum angle formula for sin:

sin (A + B) = sin A * cos B + cos A * sin B

Applying this formula to sin (60 degrees + theta):

sin (60 degrees + theta) = sin 60 degrees * cos theta + cos 60 degrees * sin theta

Since sin 60 degrees = sqrt(3)/2 and cos 60 degrees = 1/2, we can substitute these values:

sin (60 degrees + theta) = (sqrt(3)/2) * cos theta + (1/2) * sin theta

Next, let's use the difference angle formula for cos:

cos (A - B) = cos A * cos B + sin A * sin B

Applying this formula to cos (30 degrees - theta):

cos (30 degrees - theta) = cos 30 degrees * cos theta + sin 30 degrees * sin theta

Since cos 30 degrees = sqrt(3)/2 and sin 30 degrees = 1/2, we can substitute these values:

cos (30 degrees - theta) = (sqrt(3)/2) * cos theta + (1/2) * sin theta

Now, we can substitute these results back into the original expression:

sin (60 degrees + theta) - cos (30 degrees - theta) = (sqrt(3)/2) * cos theta + (1/2) * sin theta - [(sqrt(3)/2) * cos theta + (1/2) * sin theta]

Notice that the terms with cos theta cancel each other out, and the terms with sin theta cancel each other out as well:

sin (60 degrees + theta) - cos (30 degrees - theta) = 0

Therefore, the answer is (D) 1.
