Draw a right angled triangle OPQ with OP the base, PQ the altitude and OQ the hypotenuse.

Draw a second right angled triangle OQR with OQ the base, QR the altitude and OR the hypotenuse.

Drop a perpendicular from R to intercept OP at T. The line RT crosses OQ at U.

Draw a perpendicular from Q to intercept RT at S.

Let angle POQ be A and angle QOR be B.

Angle OUT = angle QUR therefore angle URQ = A

sin (A + B) = TR/OR = (TS + SR)/OR = (PQ + SR)/OR = (PQ/OQ x OQ/OR) + (SR/QR x QR/OR) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B.
