We know that, for a given triangle, sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180° A + B + C = 180° ….(1) To find the value of (B+ C)/2, simplify the equation (1) ⇒ B + C = 180° – A ⇒ (B+C)/2 = (180°-A)/2 ⇒ (B+C)/2 = (90°-A/2) Now, multiply both sides by sin functions, we get ⇒ sin (B+C)/2 = sin (90°-A/2) Since sin (90°-A/2) = cos A/2, the above equation is equal to sin (B+C)/2 = cos A/2 Hence proved.
