NCERT Exercise Excercise 8.3

If A, B and C are interior angles of a triangle ABC, then show that

    sin (B+C/2) = cos A/2

In a triangle, sum of all the interior angles

A + B + C = 180°

⇒ B + C = 180° - A

⇒ (B+C)/2 = (180°-A)/2

⇒ (B+C)/2 = (90°-A/2)

⇒ sin (B+C)/2 = sin (90°-A/2)

⇒ sin (B+C)/2 = cos A/2
