Input data


\begin{gathered} \cos a=(5)/(3) \\ \tan b=(5)/(12) \end{gathered}

Now for cos(a+b)


\begin{gathered} a=\csc ^(-1)((5)/(3))^{} \\ a=36.87 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} b=\tan ^(-1)((5)/(12)) \\ b=22.62 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \cos (a+b) \\ \cos (36.87+22.62) \\ \cos 59.5 \\ (33)/(65)=0.507 \end{gathered}
