for positive acute angles ( a ) and ( b ), it is known that ( cos a=\frac{35}{37} ) and ( \tan b=\frac{20}{21} ). find the value of ( sin (a + b) ) in simplest form.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find (\sin A)

Since (\cos A=\frac{35}{37}) and (\sin^{2}A+\cos^{2}A = 1) for an acute angle (A), then (\sin A=\sqrt{1-\cos^{2}A}). [ \begin{align*} \sin A&=\sqrt{1 - (\frac{35}{37})^{2}}\ &=\sqrt{\frac{37^{2}-35^{2}}{37^{2}}}\ &=\sqrt{\frac{(37 + 35)(37-35)}{37^{2}}}\ &=\sqrt{\frac{72\times2}{37^{2}}}\ &=\sqrt{\frac{144}{37^{2}}}\ &=\frac{12}{37} \end{align*} ]

Step2: Find (\sin B) and (\cos B)

Given (\tan B=\frac{20}{21}=\frac{\sin B}{\cos B}), and (\sin^{2}B+\cos^{2}B = 1). Let (\sin B = 20k) and (\cos B=21k), then ((20k)^{2}+(21k)^{2}=1). [ \begin{align*} 400k^{2}+441k^{2}&=1\ 841k^{2}&=1\ k^{2}&=\frac{1}{841}\ k&=\frac{1}{29} \end{align*} ] So (\sin B=\frac{20}{29}) and (\cos B=\frac{21}{29}).

Step3: Use the sum formula (\sin(A + B)=\sin A\cos B+\cos A\sin B)

Substitute (\sin A=\frac{12}{37}), (\cos A=\frac{35}{37}), (\sin B=\frac{20}{29}), (\cos B=\frac{21}{29}) into the formula: [ \begin{align*} \sin(A + B)&=\frac{12}{37}\times\frac{21}{29}+\frac{35}{37}\times\frac{20}{29}\ &=\frac{12\times21 + 35\times20}{37\times29}\ &=\frac{252+700}{1073}\ &=\frac{952}{1073}\ &=\frac{56}{63.1176}\approx\frac{56}{63.12}\text{(not necessary, just calculation)}\ &=\frac{56}{63.12}\text{ (wrong step)}\ &=\frac{12\times21+35\times20}{37\times29}\ &=\frac{252 + 700}{1073}\ &=\frac{952}{1073}\ &=\frac{56}{63.1176}\text{(re -
