       cosA + cosB = (√3 + 1)/2

       sinA + sinB = (√3 + 1)/2

       cosA + cosB = sinA + sinB

       cosA - sinA = sinB - cosB

       (cosA - sinA)² = (sinB - cosB)²

          sinAcosA = sinBcosB

            sin2A = sin2B

         2A = 2B , 2A = π- 2B   [ 2B = π - 2A ]

          A = B , A = (π/2) - B   [ B = (π/2) - A ]

    (1) A = B

    cosA = (√3 + 1)/4

    sinA = (√3 + 1)/4 ... unsuitable

    (2) B = (π/2) - A → A + B = π/2

       then sin(A + B) = sin(π/2) = 1

    That means:

    cosA = rt3/2

    and

    cosB = 1/2

    This means that

    sinA = 1/2

    and

    sinB = rt3/2

    So, we can then use basic trig to calculate A and B.

    A = 30

    B = 60

    sin(A+B) = sin(90) = 1

    Since the sin and cos of A and B are equal, the angles are complimentary (add to 90 degrees), therefore the sin(A+B) where A+B=pi/2 is 1.
