I'm stuck in this question




If $sin 5°+sin 10°+sin15°+cdots+sin 40°=a$



$sin 5°+sin 10°+sin15°+cdots+sin 175°=?$




I know that, (I asked before) $sin 5°+sin 10°+sin15°+cdots+sin 175°=tanfrac{175}{2}$



But, I didn't catch a hint here.

Let
$$
a = sin 5°+sin 10°+sin15°+cdots+sin 40°= \
operatorname{Im} (sum_{n=0}^{8}exp(i n 5 pi/180)) $$

and
$$
b = sin 5°+sin 10°+sin15°+cdots+sin 175°= \
operatorname{Im} left((1 + exp(i 9cdot 5 pi/180)+ exp(i 2cdot 9cdot 5 pi/180)+ exp(i 3cdot9cdot 5 pi/180))cdot sum_{n=0}^{8}exp(i n 5 pi/180)right) =\
operatorname{Im} left((1 + exp(i pi/4)+ exp(i 2 pi/4)+ exp(i 3 pi/4))cdot sum_{n=0}^{8}exp(i n 5 pi/180)right) =\
operatorname{Im} left((1 + i(1 +sqrt 2))cdot sum_{n=0}^{8}exp(i n 5 pi/180)right) =\
a + (1 +sqrt 2)operatorname{Re} left( sum_{n=0}^{8}exp(i n 5 pi/180)right) = a + (1 +sqrt 2)sum_{n=0}^{8}cos( n 5 pi/180)\
= a + (1 +sqrt 2)sum_{n=0}^{8}sin((90 - 5 n) pi/180)
$$

Denote $c = sum_{n=0}^{8}sin((90 - 5 n) pi/180)$. Then we have
$$
b = 2 a + 2c +frac{2}{sqrt 2} -1
$$

The last two terms are $sin 45° = frac{1}{sqrt 2}$, $sin 135° = frac{1}{sqrt 2}$. And $sin 90° = 1$ has to be subtracted because it was counted twice in $2c$.



Solving $$
b = 2 a + 2c +frac{2}{sqrt 2} -1 \
b = a + (1 +sqrt 2) c
$$



gives $b = frac{left( sqrt{2}+2right) , left( 4 a+sqrt{2}right) }{2}$

Using How can we sum up $sin$ and $cos$ series when the angles are in arithmetic progression?,



$2acdotsin2.5^circ=cos2.5^circ-cos(45^circ-2.5^circ)$



$iffleft(2a+dfrac1{sqrt2}right)sin2.5^circ=left(1-dfrac1{sqrt2}right)cos2.5^circ (1)$



If $b=sin 5^circ+sin 10^circ+sin15^circ+cdots+sin 175^circ,$



$2bcdotsin2.5^circ=cos2.5^circ-cos(180^circ-2.5^circ)=2cos2.5^circ (2)$



Divide $(2)$ by $(1)$ to find $$dfrac{2b}{left(2a+dfrac1{sqrt2}right)}=dfrac2{left(1-dfrac1{sqrt2}right)}$$ as $sin2.5^circcdotcos2.5^circne0$

Using How can we sum up $sin$ and $cos$ series when the angles are in arithmetic progression?,



$2acdotsin2.5^circ=cos2.5^circ-cos(45^circ-2.5^circ)$



$iffleft(2a+dfrac1{sqrt2}right)sin2.5^circ=left(1-dfrac1{sqrt2}right)cos2.5^circ (1)$



If $b=sin 5^circ+sin 10^circ+sin15^circ+cdots+sin 175^circ,$



$2bcdotsin2.5^circ=cos2.5^circ-cos(180^circ-2.5^circ)=2cos2.5^circ (2)$

Using How can we sum up $sin$ and $cos$ series when the angles are in arithmetic progression?,



$2acdotsin2.5^circ=cos2.5^circ-cos(45^circ-2.5^circ)$



$iffleft(2a+dfrac1{sqrt2}right)sin2.5^circ=left(1-dfrac1{sqrt2}right)cos2.5^circ (1)$



If $b=sin 5^circ+sin 10^circ+sin15^circ+cdots+sin 175^circ,$



$2bcdotsin2.5^circ=cos2.5^circ-cos(180^circ-2.5^circ)=2cos2.5^circ (2)$



Divide $(2)$ by $(1)$ to find $$dfrac{2b}{left(2a+dfrac1{sqrt2}right)}=dfrac2{left(1-dfrac1{sqrt2}right)}$$ as $sin2.5^circcdotcos2.5^circne0$
