Question Number 13904 by tawa tawa last updated on 24/May/17

Show that  :  sin(50) + sin(40) = (√2) cos(5)

$$\mathrm{Show}\:\mathrm{that}\:\::\:\:\mathrm{sin}\left(\mathrm{50}\right)\:+\:\mathrm{sin}\left(\mathrm{40}\right)\:=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{cos}\left(\mathrm{5}\right) \\ $$

=(√2)(((√2)/2)cos40+((√2)/2)sin40)=(√2)sin(45+40)  =(√2)sin85=(√2)cos5  .■

$$=\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\left(\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{2}}{cos}\mathrm{40}+\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{2}}{sin}\mathrm{40}\right)=\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}{sin}\left(\mathrm{45}+\mathrm{40}\right) \\ $$$$=\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}{sin}\mathrm{85}=\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}{cos}\mathrm{5}\:\:.\blacksquare \\ $$

Another method:  sin 50° + sin 40° = 2 sin ((50° + 40°)/2) cos ((50° − 40°)/2)  = 2 sin 45° cos 5° = 2×(1/(√2)) cos 5°  = (√2) cos 5°

$$\mathrm{Another}\:\mathrm{method}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{50}°\:+\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{40}°\:=\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\mathrm{50}°\:+\:\mathrm{40}°}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\mathrm{50}°\:−\:\mathrm{40}°}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$=\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{45}°\:\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{5}°\:=\:\mathrm{2}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{5}° \\ $$$$=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{5}° \\ $$
