Can you please help me with this trig question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have this drawing: |dw:1438159678788:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

as we can see, we can write: \[\begin{gathered} \cos \alpha > 0 \hfill \\ \sin \beta < 0 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: therefore, we can write: \[\Large \begin{gathered} \cos \alpha = \sqrt {1 - {{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} = ... \hfill \\ \sin \beta = - \sqrt {1 - {{\left( {\cos \beta } \right)}^2}} = ... \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

furthermore, you have to use this identity: \[\Large \sin \left( {\alpha + \beta } \right) = \sin \alpha \cos \beta + \cos \alpha \sin \beta \]
