sin (x) + sin (9 0^{\circ} - x) = 1

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x) + sin (9 0^{\circ} - x)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

sin (s) + sin (t) = 2 sin (\frac{s + t}{2}) cos (\frac{s - t}{2})

= 2 sin (\frac{x + 9 0 ^{\circ} - x}{2}) cos (\frac{x - ( 9 0 ^{\circ} - x )}{2})

Simplify

2 sin (\frac{x + 9 0 ^{\circ} - x}{2}) cos (\frac{x - ( 9 0 ^{\circ} - x )}{2}) : 2 cos (\frac{4 x - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{4})

2 sin (\frac{x + 9 0 ^{\circ} - x}{2}) cos (\frac{x - ( 9 0 ^{\circ} - x )}{2})

\frac{x + 9 0 ^{\circ} - x}{2} = 4 5^{\circ}

\frac{x + 9 0 ^{\circ} - x}{2}

x + 9 0^{\circ} - x = 9 0^{\circ}

x + 9 0^{\circ} - x

Group like terms

= x - x + 9 0^{\circ}

Add similar elements:

x - x = 0

= 9 0^{\circ}

= \frac{9 0 ^{\circ}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{18 0 ^{\circ}}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= 4 5^{\circ}

= 2 sin (4 5^{\circ}) cos (\frac{x - ( - x + 9 0 ^{\circ} )}{2})

\frac{x - ( 9 0 ^{\circ} - x )}{2} = \frac{4 x - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{4}
