Question 936326: Given: sin A = 3/5 ,0 degrees < A < 90 degrees , and sin B = 8/17, 90 degrees < B < 180 degrees. Use the identity to find the exact value of cos(A-B) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given: sin A = 3/5 ,0 degrees < A < 90 degrees , and sin B = 8/17, 90 degrees < B < 180 degrees. Use the identity to find the exact value of cos(A-B)
====================
cos(A-B) = cos(A)cos(B)+sin(A)sin(B)
---------
= (4/5)(-15/17)+(3/5)(8/17)
----------
= (-60+24)/17
======
= (36/17)
