(2) CP = cos OCB cos (a + b).

Substituting the values of CP, CM, and NL, found in (2), (3), and (4), in (1), we have

(b) cos (a + b) =cos a cos b-sin a sin b.

Hence, The co-sine of the sum of two angles is equal to the product of their co-sines minus the product of their sines.

Dividing both terms of the fraction in the second member by cos a cos b, reducing, and recollecting that

the sine of an arc divided by its co-sine is equal to its tangent, we have.

(e) tan (a + b)

Hence, The tangent of the

sum of two angles is equal to

the sum of their tangents, divided by 1 minus the product

of their tangents.

Dividing (b) by (a), and reducing, we have
