Question

In a ∆ABC, prove that:

\[\cos\left( \frac{A + B}{2} \right) = \sin\frac{C}{2}\]

 

Solution

 In ∆ ABC: 
\[A + B + C = \pi\]
\[ \Rightarrow A + B = \pi - C\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{A + B}{2} = \frac{\pi - C}{2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{A + B}{2} = \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{C}{2}\]
\[\text{ Now, LHS }= \cos\left( \frac{A + B}{2} \right) \]
\[ = \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{C}{2} \right) \]
\[ = \sin \left( \frac{C}{2} \right) \left[ \because \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{2} - \theta \right) = \sin \theta \right] \]
 = RHS
Hence proved.
