Answer

$$ \dfrac{ \sqrt 3}{2}$$

Work Step by Step

Apply the sum formula: $\sin(A+B)=\sin(A)\cos(B)+\cos(A)\sin(B)$ Therefore, $$\sin (\dfrac{\pi}{18}) \ \cos(\dfrac{5 \pi}{18}) +\cos (\dfrac{ \pi}{18}) \ \sin(\dfrac{5 \pi}{18})\\ =\sin \ (\dfrac{\pi}{18} +\dfrac{5 \pi}{18})\\ =\sin \ (\dfrac{ \pi}{3})\\ = \dfrac{ \sqrt 3}{2}$$
