Solution
If a ΔABC, the value of sin A + sin B + sin C is `underlinebb(4 cos A/2 cos B/2 cos C/2)`.
Explanation:
In ΔABC, A + B + C = 180°
`\implies` sin A + sin B + sin C
= `2 sin (A + B)/2 cos (A - B)/2 + 2 sin C/2 cos C/2`
= `2 sin (π/2 - C/2) cos (A - B)/2 + 2 cos C/2 sin (π/2 - overline(A + B)/2)`
= `2 cos C/2 cos (A - B)/2 + 2 cos C/2 cos (A + B)/2`
= `2 cos C/2[cos (A - B)/2 + cos (A + B)/2]`
= `2 cos C/2(2 cos A/2 cos B/2)`
= `4 cos A/2 cos B/2 cos C/2`
