Answer

Let A = 30° and B = 60°.

Substituting values in sin(A + B) we get :

⇒ sin(A + B) = sin(30° + 60°) = sin 90° = 1.

Substituting values in sin A + sin B we get :

⇒ sin A + sin B = sin 30° + sin 60°

= 12+32\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

= 1+32\dfrac{1 + \sqrt{3}}{2}.

As, LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, proved that sin(A + B) ≠ sin A + sin B.
