We have sinα+sinβ=2165-----icosα+cosβ=−2765----iiSquaring Eq. (i), we getsin2α+sin2β+2sinαsinβ=21652---iiiSquaring Eq. (ii), we getcos2α+cos2β+2cosαcosβ=27652----ivAdding Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get2+2cos(α−β)=1(65)2(27)2+(21)2=1(65)2(729+441)=1(65)2(1170)=1865or 1+cos(α−β)=965or 2cos2α−β2=965or cosα−β2=−3130∵π<α−β<3π ⇒π2<α−β2<3π2⇒cosα−β2<0
