For this purpose assume A π- x, B= π - y; and let these values be such that A + B =T- (x + y), may be positive, and less than then it will be obvious that x + y > $T. sin (A+B) = sin {(x) + ( − y) } = sin{ - (x + y)}; since A+B is equal to each of these expressions within the brackets. But by (1), sin {(† π − x) + († π − y)} = sin (} π − x) cos († τ − y) +sin(- y) cos (π x) = cos x sin y+cos y sin x; sin {(x+y)} = sin (x + y).

The following is another very simple method of proving the formulæ (1, 2, 3, 4). Let A OB, BOC be two angles of the circle A CG whose radius is the linear unit. From B draw BD, BF perpendicular respectively to the radii O A, O C, and from C draw CE perpendicular to O A, meeting the circle again in G. Bisect O B in H; join F H, H D, O G; and denote the angles A OB, BOC by A and B.

Then because each of the angles O D B, OFB is a right angle, a circle described from H, with OB as radius will pass through the points O, D, B, F. Hence the angle FHD 2 COA = COG; the triangles FHD, CO G, are consequently similar, and therefore FD=GC EC, since FH = CO. Also the perpendicular from H on F DOE; whence the difference of the perpendiculars from O and B on FD,

is equal to EO, as each of these quantities (Euc. i. Ex.) is double of the perpendicular from H on DF. Hence (Euc. vi. D.C.),

or sin (A+B)=sin A cos B+sin B cos A, cos (A+B) = =cos A cos B-sin A sin B. If we interchange the perpendiculars B D, C E, so that CE sin (A -- B), we shall get in a similar way,

sin (A-B) = sin A cos B-sin B cos A, cos (A-B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B. In this case, O E is equal to the sum of the perpendiculars from O and B on F D.

By (5) also and the formula sin 2A + cos 2A = 1, we have
sin 2A +2 sin A cos A + cos 2A = 1 + sin 2 A,
sin 2A 2 sin A cos A+ cos 2A = 1 − sin 2 A;

Next, to find the tangents of the sum and difference of two angles in terms of the tangents of the angles, we have by (1) and (3) of this Art., and (2) of Art. 15,

The last form is got by dividing both numerator and denominator of the preceding, by cos A cos B.

*The signs of these formulæ will be best interpreted by special cases. For values of A between 0 and 45°, sin A and cos A will both be positive, and cos Asin A; sin A + cos A, or its equal (1 + sin 2 A), will therefore be positive, and sin A -cos A, or its equal(1 sin 2 A), will be negative. Hence in this case (9) and (10) become, by means of the preceding expressions from which they are derived,

sin A = {√(1 + sin 2A) — √ (1 − sin 2A)},
cos A = √(1 + sin 2A) + √(1 sin 2A)}.

Again, for values of A between 45° and 90° (the values of the trigonometrical functions of 45° have already been determined in Art. 15), sin A + cos A and sin A-cos A will both be positive, hence

sin A
cos A =

(1-sin 2A)},

(1 + sin 2A) -
(1 + sin 2A) — √(1 − sin 2A)}.

And in a similar way for other cases.

By different combinations of the preceding, a great number of other formule might be deduced; but in an elementary work like the present, those only can be given that are of frequent occurrence. The following
