.
sen(a)= 3/5, π/2 < a < π and cos (B)=20/29, 0 < B <π/2, sin (a-B)= ????
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Use the formula  sin(a - b) = sin(a)*cos(b) - cos(a)*sin(b).
   (Regarding this formula, see the lesson Addition and subtraction formulas in this site.)


You need to know cos(a) and sin(b) in addition to the given sin(a) and cos(b).


Calculate

cos(a) = +/- . Choose correct sign before  sqrt  based on info about angle "a".

sin(b) = +/- . Choose correct sign before  sqrt  based on info about angle "b".

See the sample in the lesson Calculating trigonometric functions of angles>,  Problem 3.

I was not able to read your original formula, and therefore corrected it by inserting the blank dividers.
