    1) By folding a sheet of paper in specific ways, angles a and b sum to 90 degrees, showing the angle sum formula. 2) Labeling the angles and segments allows identifying relationships like sin(a+b) being equal to another segment, proving the angle sum identity for sine. 3) The diagram also proves the angle sum identity for cosine as an equal segment is identified. 4) With the angle sum identities for sine and cosine known, the document instructs deriving similar identities for angle difference and double angle formulas.

    Geometric Proof: Angle Sum Formula

    Using a blank sheet of paper: Fold the top left corner to the right side so it makes a crease through the bottom left corner Fold down the top right corner to crease at the edge of the first fold. Fold up the bottom right corner to crease at the edge of the first fold.
