A and b are the angles of the second quadrant, then
Cosa=- 12/ 13 from Sina =5/ 13.
Sinb=4/5 from cosb=-3/5.
So sin (a-b) = 5/13 × (-3/5)-(-12/13) × (4/5) = 33/65.
cos(a-b)= =(- 12/ 13)×(-3/5)+5/ 13×4/5 = 56/65
tan(a-b)=33/65÷ 56/65=33/56
From sin (a-b) >: 0, we know that a-b is the first or second quadrant angle.
From cos (a-b)>0, a-b is the first or fourth quadrant angle.
So a-b is the first quadrant angle.
