Right triangle ONP
NP = OP*sin(B) and NO = OP*cos(B).
Right triangle OPL
cos(A-B) = OL/OP = (OM + LM)/OP = (OM + KN)/OP.
KN = NP*sin(A) = OP*sin(B)*sin(A).

Use cosine law and distance formuls
Construction
Draw a unit circle with OX = 1.
Draw point P and Q on circle. OP = OQ = 1.
Angle XOP = A and XOQ = B
Angle POQ = A - B
Distance = AB = d
Proof
By cosine law
d^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 - 2*1*1*cos(A-B)
d^2 = 2 - 2*cos(A-B)
Find distance between P and Q
Coordinate P(cos(A), sin(A))
Coordinate Q(cos(B), sin(B))
d^2 = (cos(A)-cos(B))^2 + (sin(A)-sin(B))^2
Since cos(A)^2 + sin(A)^2 = 1 and cos(B)^2 + sin(B)^2 = 1
After expansion
d^2 = 2 - 2*cos(A)*cos(B) - 2*sin(A)*sin(B)
Hence cos(A-B) = cos(A)*cos(B) + sin(A)*sin(B)
Application of cos(A-B)
cos(015) = cos(45- 30) = cos(30)*cos(45) + sin(30)*sin(45) = ?
cos(165) = cos(180-15) = -cos(15)
cos(195) = cos(180+15) = -cos(15)
cos(345) = cos(360-15) = +cos(15)

Q06. tan(A+B) and tan(A-B)
Prove that tan(x+y) = (tan(x) + tan(y))/(1 - tan(x)*tan(y)).
tan(A+B) = (sin(A)*cos(B) + cos(A)*sin(B))/(sin(A)*cos(B) os(A)*cos(B)).
Divide numerator and denominator by cos(A)*cos(B).
tan(A+B) = (sin(A)/cos(A) + sin(B)/cos(B))/(1 - (sin(A)/cos(A))*(sin(B)/cos(B))).
tan(A+B) = (tan(A) +tan(B))/(1 - tan(A)*tan(B)
Prove that tan(x-y) = (tan(x) - tan(y))/(1 + tan(x)*tan(y)).
tan(A-B) = (sin(A)*cos(B) - cos(A)*sin(B))/(sin(A)*cos(B) + cos(A)*cos(B)).
Divide numerator and denominator by cos(A)*cos(B).
tan(A-B) = (sin(A)/cos(A) - sin(B)/cos(B))/(1 + (sin(A)/cos(A))*(sin(B)/cos(B))).
tan(A-B) = (tan(A) - tan(B))/(1 + tan(A)*tan(B)
Application of tan(A+B)
tan(075) = tan(30+ 45) = (tan(30) + tan(45))/(1 - tan(30)*tan(45)) = ?
tan(105) = tan(180-75) = -tan(75)
tan(255) = tan(180+75) = +tan(75)
tan(285) = tan(360-75) = -tan(75)
Application of tan(A-B)
tan(015) = tan(45- 30) = (tan(45) - tan(30))/(1 + tan(30)*tan(45)) = ?
tan(165) = tan(180-15) = -tan(15)
tan(195) = tan(180+15) = +tan(15)
tan(345) = tan(360-15) = -tan(15)

Q07. Find cos(A-B) using cosine law and distance formuls
Use cosine law and distance formuls
Construction
Draw a unit circle with OX = 1.
Draw point P and Q on circle. OP = OQ = 1.
Angle XOP = A and XOQ = B
Angle POQ = A - B
Distance = AB = d
Proof
By cosine law
d^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 - 2*1*1*cos(A-B)
d^2 = 2 - 2*cos(A-B)
Find distance between P and Q
Coordinate P(cos(A), sin(A))
Coordinate Q(cos(B), sin(B))
d^2 = (cos(A)-cos(B))^2 + (sin(A)-sin(B))^2
Since cos(A)^2 + sin(A)^2 = 1 and cos(B)^2 + sin(B)^2 = 1
After expansion
d^2 = 2 - 2*cos(A)*cos(B) - 2*sin(A)*sin(B)
Hence cos(A-B) = cos(A)*cos(B) + sin(A)*sin(B)
