In - ABC- prove that b - c - b - c -tan1-2 B - C -tan1-2 B - C

By the sine rule, we have a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C = k (say). ⇒ a = k sin A, b = k sin B, and c = k sin C, ∴ LHS = b c/b + c = k sin B k sin C/k sin B ...

Question

In $Δ A B C,$ prove that

$\frac{(b - c)}{b + c} = \frac{t a n \frac{1}{2} (B - C)}{t a n \frac{1}{2} (B + C)}$

Open in App

Solution

By the sine rule, we have

$\frac{a}{s i n A} = \frac{b}{s i n B} = \frac{c}{s i n C} = k (s a y) .$

$\Rightarrow a = k s i n A, b = k s i n B, a n d c = k s i n C,$

$∴ L H S = \frac{b - c}{b + c} = \frac{k s i n B - k s i n C}{k s i n B + k s i n C} = \frac{k (s i n B - s i n C)}{k (s i n B + s i n C)}$

= $\frac{(s i n B - s i n C)}{(s i n B + s i n C)} = \frac{2 c o s \frac{(B + C)}{2} s i n \frac{B - C}{2}}{2 s i n \frac{B + C}{2} c o s \frac{(B - C)}{2}}$

= $\frac{t a n \frac{1}{2} (B - C)}{t a n \frac{1}{2} (B + C)}$ = RHS.

Hence, $\frac{(b - c)}{b + c} = \frac{t a n \frac{1}{2} (B - C)}{t a n \frac{1}{2} (B + C)}$
