We know A+B+C=π. Hence A=π-(B+C).Putting it in CosA=CosB.CosC we get Cos(π-(B+C))=cosB.cosC. Using formula of cos(π-x)=-Cosx, we get Cos(B+C)=-cosB.cosC.Expanding cos(B+C) equal to cosB.CosC-sinB.sinC and taking cosB.CosC term other side we get 2CosB.CosC=sinB.sinC.Hence cotB.cotC=1/2

Dear Student,
A + B + C = 180 degrees
implies A = 180 – ( B + C )
cos A = cos B cos C
implies    cos (180 – B – C) = cos B cos C
implies    – cos ( B + C ) = cos B cos C
implies    – cos B cos C + sin B sin C = cos B cos C
implies     2 cos B cos C = sin B sin C
Hence      cot B cot C = ½
 
Hope it helps!

Dear student,
Please find the solution to your problem.
 
A + B + C = 180 degrees
implies A = 180 – ( B + C )
cos A = cos B cos C
implies    cos (180 – B – C) = cos B cos C
implies    – cos ( B + C ) = cos B cos C
implies    – cos B cos C + sin B sin C = cos B cos C
implies     2 cos B cos C = sin B sin C
Hence      cot B cot C = ½
 
Thanks and regards,
Kushagra
