Solution
sin A = `3/5`
`0 < "A" < pi/2`
From ΔABC, AB = `sqrt(5^2 - 3^2)`
= `sqrt(25 - 9)`
= `sqrt(16)`
= 4
cos B = `9/41`
`0 < "B" < pi/2`
From ΔBAD, AD = `sqrt(41^2 - 9^2)`
= `sqrt((41 + 9)(41 - 9))`
= `sqrt(50 xx 32)`
= `sqrt(100 xx 16)`
= `sqrt(10^2 xx 4^2)`
= 10 × 4
= 40
Now,
From ΔABC, sin A = `3/5`, cos A = `4/5`
From ΔABD, sin B = `40/41`, cos B = `9/41`
sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos a sin B
= `(3/5 xx 9/4) + (4/5 xx 40/41)`
= `27/205 + 60/205`
= `187/205`
