sin%28A%29cos%282A%29%2B+cos%28A%29sin%282A%29

Use the identity 

sin%28alpha%2Bbeta%29=sin%28alpha%29cos%28beta%29%2Bcos%28alpha%29sin%28beta%29

with alpha=A and beta=2A

sin%28A%2B2A%29=sin%28A%29cos%282A%29%2Bcos%28A%29sin%282A%29

The right side is what you are asking, so the
answer is the left side sin%28A%2B2A%29, or

sin%283A%29
