Answer

$\frac{63}{65}$

Work Step by Step

$\cos A=\pm\sqrt {1-\sin^{2}A}=\pm\sqrt {1-(-\frac{3}{5})^{2}}=\pm\frac{4}{5}$ As $A$ is in the fourth quadrant, $\cos A$ is positive. Therefore, $\cos A=\frac{4}{5}$ Now, $\cos B=\pm\sqrt {1-\sin^{2}B}=\pm\sqrt {1-(\frac{12}{13})^{2}}=\pm\frac{5}{13}$ As $B$ is in the second quadrant, $\cos B$ is negative. Therefore, $\cos B=-\frac{5}{13}$ Recall that $\sin(A+B)=\sin A\cos B+\cos A \sin B$ Then $\sin(A+B)=(-\frac{3}{5})(-\frac{5}{13})+(\frac{4}{5})(\frac{12}{13})=\frac{63}{65}$
