In a triangle ABC if A B C verify the following identities
In a triangle ABC, if A + B = C, verify the following identities. a) tan A tan B tan c identicalto = tan C - tan A - tan B b sin A + sin (B + C) identicalto 2sin C cos B
Solution
tan(A)tanBtanC = tanC - tanA- tanB
LHS we know tan(A+B) = [tanA + tanB]/[1- tanAtanB]
So, 1- tanAtanB = [tanA+ tanB)/tan(A+B)
tanAtanB = 1 - [ tanA + tanB]/tan(A+B)
tanAtanB = 1 - [tanA +tanB]/tanC
= [tanC - tanA - tanB]/tanC
So, tanAtanBtanC = tanC - tanA - tanB
Hence proved
b) sinA + sin(B+C) = 2sinCcosB
A = C- B
So, sin(C - B) + sin(B +C)
sinCcosB - cosCsinB + sinBcosC+sinCcosB
2sinCcosB
RHS
