918 B. Trigonometry
Equations B.12 and B.13 show a collection of laws that we call the angle
sum and angle difference relations.
Angle sum relations :
sin(φ + ρ)=sinφ cos ρ +cosφ sin ρ
cos(φ + ρ)=cosφ cos ρ − sin φ sin ρ
tan(φ + ρ)=
tan φ +tanρ
1 − tan φ tan ρ
(B.12)
Angle difference relations :
sin(φ − ρ)=sinφ cos ρ − cos φ sin ρ
cos(φ −ρ)=cosφ cos ρ +sinφ sin ρ
tan(φ − ρ)=
tan φ − tan ρ
1+tanφ tan ρ
(B.13)
Next follow the product relations.
Product relations :
sin φ sin ρ =

(cos(φ − ρ) −cos(φ + ρ))
cos φ cos ρ =

(cos(φ − ρ)+cos(φ + ρ))
