We'll consider the constraint a - b = pi => a = pi
+ b
We'll calculate the cosine function of the angle
a:
cos a = cos (pi + b)
We'll
use the following identity:
cos (x+y) = cosx*cosy -
sinx*siny
Comparing, we'll
get:
cos (pi + b) = cos pi*cos b - sin pi*sin
b
But cos pi = - 1 and sin pi =
0
cos (pi + b) = -cos
b
Therefore cos a = - cos
b.
If we'll multiply a negative number by a
positive number, the result is a negative number, therefore cos a*cos b = - (cos b)^2
=<0.
