To solve this problem, we will use the following identity:


\sin (a+b)=\sin a\cos b+\cos a\sin b\text{.}

Using the above identity we can rewrite the given expression as follows:


\sin (35^(\circ)+115^(\circ)).

Simplifying the above result, we get:


\sin (150^(\circ))\text{.}

Answer:


\sin (150^(\circ))\text{.}
