Use the sum-to-product formula to simplify the expression. If sin39 degree + sin21 degree = sin A degree, 0
Solution
By identify,
sinA + SinB = 2 sin ((A+B)/2) cos ((A+B)/2)
sin39°+ sin21° = 2 sin((39+21°)/2)cos((39°-21°)/2)
= 2sin30°cos9°
=2*1/2*cos9°
=cos9°
Now
SinA° = 2sin (30°) cos (9°)
sinA° = 2 (1/2) cos (9°)
sinA° = cos (9°)
A° = arcsin (0.9876)
A=81°
