Solution

L.H.S. = sin A + sin B + sin C

= `2sin(("A" + "B")/2)*cos(("A" - "B")/2) + 2sin  "C"/2*cos  "C"/2`

In ΔABC, A + B + C = π

∴ A + B = π – C

∴ `sin(("A" + "B")/2) = sin((pi - "C")/2) = sin(pi/2 - "C"/2) = cos  "C"/2`  ...(i)

and `cos(("A" + "B")/2) = cos((pi - "C")/2) = cos(pi/2 - "C"/2) = sin  "C"/2` ...(ii)

∴  L.H.S. = `2*cos  "C"/2*cos(("A" - "B")/2) + 2cos(("A" + "B")/2)*cos  "C"/2`  ...[From (i) and (ii)]

= `2*cos  "C"/2*[cos(("A" - "B")/2) + cos(("A" + "B")/2)]`

= `2*cos  "C"/2*2cos[(("A" + "B")/2 + ("A" - "B")/2)/2]*cos[(("A" + "B")/2 - ("A" - "B")/2)/2]`

= `2*cos  "C"/2*(2cos  "A"/2 *cos  "B"/2)`

= `4*cos  "A"/2* cos  "B"/2*cos  "C"/2`

= R.H.S.
