Prove that:
sin 47° + cos 77° = cos 17°

Solution
Consider LHS:
\[\sin 47^\circ + \cos 77^\circ\]
\[ = \sin 47^\circ + \cos \left( 90^\circ - 13^\circ \right)\]
\[ = \sin 47^\circ + \sin 13^\circ\]
\[ = 2\sin \left( \frac{47^\circ + 13^\circ}{2} \right) \cos \left( \frac{47^\circ - 13^\circ}{2} \right) \left\{ \because \sin A + \sin B = 2\sin \left( \frac{A + B}{2} \right) \cos \left( \frac{A - B}{2} \right) \right\}\]
\[ = 2\sin 30^\circ \cos 17^\circ\]
\[ = 2 \times \frac{1}{2}\cos 17^\circ\]
\[ = \cos 17^\circ\]
= RHS
Hence, LHS = RHS.
