Question

CosA + cosB + cosC = 1 + 4sinA/2 sinB/2 sinC/2

Answer 1

$\cos(A) + \cos( B ) + \cos(C) \\ = 2 \cos( \frac{A + B}{2} ) \cos( \frac{ A- B}{2} ) + 1 - 2 { \sin }^{2} \frac{C}{2} \\ = 1 + 2\cos( \frac{\pi - C}{2} ) \cos( \frac{A - B}{2} ) - 2 { \sin }^{2} \frac{C}{2} \\ = 1 + 2 \sin \frac{C}{2} \cos( \frac{A - B}{2} ) - 2 { \sin }^{2} \frac{C}{2} \\ = 1 + 2 \sin \frac{C}{2} [ \cos( \frac{A - B}{2} ) - \sin \frac{C}{2}] \\ = 1 + 2 \sin \frac{C}{2} [ \cos( \frac{A - B}{2} ) - \cos( \frac{A + B}{2} )] \\ = 1 + 2 \sin\frac{C}{2} \times 2 \sin( \frac{ \frac{A + B}{2} +\frac{A - B}{2} }{2} ) \sin( \frac{ \frac{A + B}{2} - \frac{A - B}{2} }{2} ) \\ = 1 + 4 \sin \frac{A}{2} \sin \frac{B}{2} \sin \frac{C}{2}$
