trigonometry - Sine of the sum of angles

I need to prove the formula for the sine of the sum sin(α+β)=sin(α)cos(β)+sin(β)cos(α)


I already know how to prove it when α,β0 and α+β<π/2. How can I extend it to any pair of angles? The definition of sine and cosine that I am using is the length of the y-axis and the x-axis respectively when you intersect the circle of radius 1, but I can't use analytic geometry. Also I can't use complex numbers multiplication. Only relations like sin(α+π/2)=cos(α).
