<span>OK, here's a *very* approximate "creative" method: </span><span> sin(a+b)=sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b) </span> <span> choose a=30deg and b=5deg </span> - sin(a)=0.5 (exact) - b is a small number so we say sin(b)~b (in radians). We can do a long division for this: 3.14/36 = 0.087 radians - similarly, for b sufficiently small, cos(b)~1 <span>- now we only need cos(a) = sqrt(3)/2. We can approximately calculate sqrt(3) as 1.73, (by trial-and-error or better, by using the Babylonian method; so sqrt(3)/2 = 0.865 </span> <span> Finally, sin(30 + 5) = (0.5 x 1) + (0.087 x 0.865) = 0.575 (calculating more digits is of no use because the sin(b)=b and cos(b)=1 are quite inaccurate approximations). </span>
<span>So that wasn't all too much effort, and we're close to the correct answer (0.574)
I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead! </span>
