Question

In any Δ ABC, prove the following:

a2 sin (B - C) = (b2 - c2) sin A.

Sum

Solution

By sine rule,

`"a"/"sin A" = "b"/"sin B" = "c"/"sin C" = "k"`

∴ a = k sin A, b = k sin B, c = k sin C

RHS = (b2 - c2) sin A

= (k2 sin2B - k2 sin2C)sin A

= k2 (sin2B - sin2C) sin A

= k2 (sin B + sin C)(sin B - sin C) sin A

= `"k"^ 2 xx  2 "sin" (("B + C")/2). cos(("B - C")/2) xx 2 cos (("B + C")/2).sin (("B - C")/2) xx sin "A"`

= `"k"^ 2 xx  2 "sin" (("B + C")/2). cos(("B + C")/2) xx 2 sin (("B - C")/2). cos (("B - C")/2) xx sin "A"`

= k2 x sin(B + C) x sin (B - C) x sin A

= k. sin (π - A). sin (B - C). sin A    ....[∵ A + B + C = π]

= k2. sin A. sin (B - C). sin A

= (k sin A)2. sin(B - C)

= a2 sin (B - C)

= LHS
