    - Advanced problems on calculating trigonometric functions of angles
in this site. Find appropriate samples for you there.

The instructions are as follows:

1.  Knowing that sin(A) = , calculate cos(A) = +/- .

2.  Knowing that the angle A is in QII, determine the sign at the square root in the n.1 above.

3.  Knowing that cos(B) = , calculate sin(B) = +/- .

4.  Knowing that the angle B is in QIII, determine the sign at the square root in the n.3 above.


5.  As a last step, apply the formulas 

       sin(A+B) = sin(A)*cos(B) + cos(A)*sin(B),

       cos(A-B) = cos(A)*cos(B) + sin(A)*sin(B).

       tan(A-B) = .


Notice that you just have everything to substitute into these formulas.
