if A, B, C are the interior angles of triangle ABC, then show that cos(B+C/2)= sin A/2
Answers
Here's your answer:-
A,B,C are the interior angles of triangle ABC
the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°
therefore-
A+B+C=180°
B+C=180°-A
(dividing by 2 both sides)
B+C/2=180°/2-A/2
B+C/2=90°-A/2
(taking cos both sides)
cos(B+C/2)=cos(90°-A/2)
cos(B+C/2)=sin(A/2)
{cos(90°-A)=sin A}
cos(B+C/2)=sin(A/2)

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,
