Dear Student
The solution is already provided in detailed manner
But for more clear clarity we would suggest you to re-revise trigonometric identities and their relations.
In this question you would require following identities
sina*sinb+cosa*cosb=cos(a-b)
cosa*cosb-sina*sinb=cos(a+b)
cos^2a-sin^2a=cos2a
cosa+cosb=2cos(a+b/2)*cos(a-b/2)
You can re-revise more identities for your own good
