Answer: see proof below
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given: A + B + C = π → C = π - (A + B)
→ sin C = sin(π - (A + B)) cos C = sin(π - (A + B))
→ sin C = sin (A + B) cos C = - cos(A + B)
Use the following Sum to Product Identity:
sin A + sin B = 2 cos[(A + B)/2] · sin [(A - B)/2]
cos A + cos B = 2 cos[(A + B)/2] · cos [(A - B)/2]
Use the following Double Angle Identity:
sin 2A = 2 sin A · cos A
<u>Proof LHS → RHS</u>
LHS: (sin 2A + sin 2B) + sin 2C
LHS = RHS: 4 cos A · cos B · sin C = 4 cos A · cos B · sin C
