Given: a cos θ – b sin θ = c 

To find: a sinθ + b cosθ 

Consider a cosθ – b sinθ = c 

Squaring both sides, we get 

(a cosθ – b sinθ)2 = c2 

∵ (a – b)2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab 

∴ a cos θ – b sin θ = c 

⇒ a2 cos2θ + b2sin2θ – 2ab sinθcosθ = c2 ……(i)

Now, 

∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1 

∴ sin2θ = 1 – cos2θ and cos2θ = 1 – sin2θ 

⇒ From (i), we have 

⇒ a2(1 – sin2θ) + b2(1 – cos2θ) – 2ab sin θ cos θ = c2 

⇒ a2 – a2 sin2θ + b2 – b2 cos2θ – 2ab sinθ cosθ = c2 

⇒ a2 + b2 – (a2 sin2θ + b2 cos2θ + 2ab sinθ cosθ) = c2 

⇒ – (a2 sin2θ + b2 cos2θ + 2ab sin θ cos θ) = c2 – a2 – b2

⇒ a2 sin2θ + b2cos2θ + 2ab sinθcos θ = a2 + b2 – c2

⇒ (a sin θ)2 + (b cos θ)2 + 2 (a sin θ) (b cos θ) = a2 + b2 – c2 

⇒ (a sin θ + b cos θ)2 = a2 + b2 – c2

⇒ a sin θ + b cos θ = \(±\sqrt{a^2+b^2-c^2}\)
