Question -

If A, B and C areinterior angles of a triangle ABC, then show that

    sin(B+C/2) = cos A/2



Answer -

We know that, for a given triangle, sum of allthe interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°

A + B + C = 180° ….(1)

To find the value of (B+ C)/2, simplify theequation (1)

B + C = 180° – A

(B+C)/2 = (180°-A)/2

(B+C)/2 = (90°-A/2)

Now, multiply both sides by sin functions, weget

sin (B+C)/2 = sin (90°-A/2)

Since sin (90°-A/2) = = cos A/2, the aboveequation is equal to

sin (B+C)/2 = cos A/2

Hence proved.
