x=\sin \alpha, y=\sin \beta, z=\sin (\alpha+\beta)

then

\cos (\alpha+\beta)=

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\frac{z^2-x^2-y^2}{x y}

Option C,

\frac{z^2-x^2-y^2}{2 x y}

, is the correct answer. It is derived by using the sine addition formula and trigonometric identities to express

\cos(\alpha+\beta)

in terms of

x

y

, and

z
