Q1
Which explanation correctly uses the geometry?
In triangle $ABC$, $\angle A$ is labeled $\theta$ and $\angle B$ is labeled $\varphi$. A segment from $C$ to $AB$ meets $AB$ at $D$ and is marked perpendicular to $AB$ (right-angle box at $D$). Thus $CD$ is an altitude.
Which statement gives a valid geometric justification path toward an identity involving $\sin(\theta+\varphi)$ (using that $\angle C = 180^\circ-(\theta+\varphi)$), without plugging in numbers or assuming the identity?
