If a, b and c are the interior angles of a triangle, then
a+b+c=180°(Angle sum property of a triangle)
b+c=180°-a
Dividing by 2 on both sides,
b+c/2=180°-a/2
Taking sin on both the sides,
sin(b+c/2)=sin(180°-a/2)
sin(b+c/2)=sin(90°-a/2)
sin(b+c/2)=cos(a/2)
Hence proved.

As we know, for any given triangle, the sum of all its interior angles is equals to 180°.
Thus,
A + B + C = 180° ….(1)
Now we can write the above equation as;
⇒ B + C = 180° – A
Dividing by 2 on both the sides;
⇒ (B + C)/2 = (180° – A)/2
⇒ (B + C)/2 = 90° – A/2
Now, put sin function on both sides.
⇒ sin (B + C)/2 = sin (90° – A/2)
Since,
sin (90° – A/2) = cos A/2
Therefore,
sin (B + C)/2 = cos A/2
