In square ABCD, P is on BC such that BP = 4 and PC = 1, and Q is on line CD such that DQ = 2 and QC = 3. Find sin angle PAQ.

We know, sin(x)=cos(π2x).

BAD=90=π2, exactly!

BAC=BAP+PAQ+QAD=π2

BAP+QAD=π2PAQ

sin(PAQ)=cos(BAP+QAD)=cos(BAP)cos(QAD)sin(BAP)sin(QAD).

Triangle BAP and QAD are just right triangles, so it's easy to calculate trigonometric values off them.

We get 1711891189, as our final answer.
