Question
If the sides
a
,
b
,
c
of a triangle are in A.P., then find the value of
tan
A
2
+
tan
C
2
in terms of
cot
(
B

Solution
As
a
,
b
,
c
are in AP,
a
+
c
=
2
b
Consider,
tan
A
2
+
tan
C

We have the formula
tan
A
2
=
√
(
s
−
b
)
(
s
−
c
)
s
(
s
−
a
)
Substituting, we get,
tan
A
2
+
tan
C

=

We have,
s
=
a

b

and
a

c
=

b
∴
s
=

b

Substitute for
s

tan

=

We get,
tan
A
