We have sine and cosine rule as follows

$sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+cosAsinB$

and

$cos(A+B)=cosAcosB-sinAsinB$

To prove sine rule using cosine rule.

Cosine rule being an identity it is valid for all real values of A and B.So we can put ( $pi/2+A$ ) in place of A in the 2nd identity of cosine and get

$cos(pi/2+A+B)=cos(pi/2+A)cosB-sin(pi/2+A)sinB$

$=>-sin(A+B)=-sinAcosB-cosAsinB$

$=>sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+cosAsinB$

This is the sine rule.

Similarly we can also prove it for rule of $sin(A-B) and cos(A-B)$
