Convert all the '5A' and '4A' into simple angles, then half angles.
sin(A+B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB
sin(2A) = 2sinAcosA
cos(2A) = cos^2A - sin^2A = 2cos^2A - 1 = 1- 2sin^2A

convert all the '5a' and '4a' into simple angles, then half angles.
sin(a+b) = sinacosb + cosasinb
sin(2a) = 2sinacosa
cos(2a) = cos^2a - sin^2a = 2cos^2a - 1 = 1- 2sin^2a
i still don't understand... do u have the solutions?

sinC-sinD=2cosC+D/2 . SinC-D/2
cosC+cosD=2cosC+D/2 . CosC-D/2
apply this formula in question i.e
sin5A-sin4A 2cos9A/2 .sinA/2 sinA/2
-------------- = --------------------- = --------- = tanA/2
cos4A+cos5A 2cos9A/2 . CosA/2 cosA/2
