You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the value of sin(a-b) if cos(a) = 15/17, cot(a) = 24/7, 0 degrees < b < 90
----------------------------------
angle "a" is in QI where x and y are positive.
----------------------------------
Since cos = x/r, x = 15 and r = 17
----
Therefore: y = sqrt[17^2-15^2] = 8

Question:: What else do we know about "b"?
