Solution

`sin^-1  8/17 + sin^-1  3/5`

= `tan^-1  8/sqrt(17^2 - 8^2) + tan^-1  3/sqrt(5^2 - 3^2)  ...[sin^-1  p/h = tan^-1  p/sqrt(h^2 - p^2)]`

= `tan^-1  8/sqrt(289 - 64) + tan^-1  3/sqrt(25 - 9)`

= `tan^-1  8/sqrt225 + tan^-1  3/sqrt16`

= `tan^-1  8/15 + tan^-1  3/4`

= `tan^-1  ((8/15 + 3/4)/(1 - 8/15 xx 3/4))  ...[tan^-1x + tan^-1y = tan^-1((x + y)/(1 - x xx y))]`

= `tan^-1[((32 + 45)/60)/(1 - 24/60)]`

= `tan^-1  77/36`
