3. Applied sub-neg16.7

   \[\leadsto \cos^{-1} \left(\sin \phi_1 \cdot \sin \phi_2 + \left(\cos \phi_1 \cdot \cos \phi_2\right) \cdot \cos \color{blue}{\left(\lambda_1 + \left(-\lambda_2\right)\right)}\right) \cdot R\]

4. Applied cos-sum4.0

   \[\leadsto \cos^{-1} \left(\sin \phi_1 \cdot \sin \phi_2 + \left(\cos \phi_1 \cdot \cos \phi_2\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\cos \lambda_1 \cdot \cos \left(-\lambda_2\right) - \sin \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \left(-\lambda_2\right)\right)}\right) \cdot R\]

5. Simplified4.0

   \[\leadsto \cos^{-1} \left(\sin \phi_1 \cdot \sin \phi_2 + \left(\cos \phi_1 \cdot \cos \phi_2\right) \cdot \left(\color{blue}{\cos \lambda_1 \cdot \cos \lambda_2} - \sin \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \left(-\lambda_2\right)\right)\right) \cdot R\]
