The correct answer is

0

Let \(A=\sin^{-1}\dfrac{3}{5}\), so \(\sin A=\dfrac{3}{5}\), \(\cos A=\dfrac{4}{5}\).

Let \(B=\sin^{-1}\dfrac{5}{13}\), so \(\sin B=\dfrac{5}{13}\), \(\cos B=\dfrac{12}{13}\).

Let \(C=\sin^{-1}\dfrac{33}{65}\), so \(\sin C=\dfrac{33}{65}\), and \(\cos C=\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac{33}{65}\right)^2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{4225-1089}{4225}}=\dfrac{56}{65}\).

Compute \(\cos(A+B)=\cos A\cos B-\sin A\sin B=\dfrac{4}{5}\cdot\dfrac{12}{13}-\dfrac{3}{5}\cdot\dfrac{5}{13}=\dfrac{48-15}{65}=\dfrac{33}{65}\).

Compute \(\sin(A+B)=\sin A\cos B+\cos A\sin B=\dfrac{3}{5}\cdot\dfrac{12}{13}+\dfrac{4}{5}\cdot\dfrac{5}{13}=\dfrac{36+20}{65}=\dfrac{56}{65}\).

Observe that \(\cos(A+B)=\dfrac{33}{65}=\sin C\) and \(\sin(A+B)=\dfrac{56}{65}=\cos C\), which means \(A+B=\dfrac{\pi}{2}-C\), i.e. \(A+B+C=\dfrac{\pi}{2}\).

Therefore \(\cos(A+B+C)=\cos\dfrac{\pi}{2}=0\).
