Question
$4\Big(\text{bc}\cos^2\frac{\text{A}}{2}+\text{ca}\cos^2\frac{\text{B}}{2}+\text{ab}\cos^2\frac{\text{C}}{2}\Big)=(\text{a + b + c})^2$

Answer

$4\Big(\text{bc}\cos^2\frac{\text{A}}{2}+\text{ca}\cos^2\frac{\text{B}}{2}+\text{ab}\cos^2\frac{\text{C}}{2}\Big)=(\text{a + b + c})^2$$\text{LHS}=4\Big(\text{bc}\cos^2\frac{\text{A}}{2}+\text{ca}\cos^2\frac{\text{B}}{2}+\text{ab}\cos^2\frac{\text{C}}{2}\Big)$
$=2\Big(\text{bc.}2\cos^2\frac{\text{A}}{2}+\text{ca.}2\cos^2\frac{\text{B}}{2}+\text{ab}.2\cos^2\frac{\text{C}}{2}\Big)$
$=2(\text{bc.}(1-\cos\text{A})+\text{ca.}(1-\cos\text{B})+\text{ab.}(1-\cos\text{C}))$
$=2\text{bc}-2\text{bc}\cos\text{A}+2\text{ca}-2\text{ca}\cos\text{B}+2\text{ab}-2\text{ab}\cos\text{C}$
$=2\text{bc}-2\text{bc}\frac{\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{a}^2}{2\text{bc}}+2\text{ca}-2\text{ca}\frac{\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{b}^2}{2\text{ca}}+2\text{ab}$
$-2\text{ab}\frac{\text{b}^2+\text{a}^2-\text{c}^2}{2\text{ab}}\text{[cos rule]}$
$=2\text{bc}-\text{b}^2-\text{c}^2+\text{a}^2+2\text{ca}-\text{a}^2-\text{c}^2+\text{b}^2+2\text{ab}-\text{b}^2-\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2$
$=\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2+2\text{ab}+2\text{ab}+2\text{ca}$
$=(\text{a + b + c})^2=\text{RHS}$

$P_1, P_2$ are points on either of the two lines $\text{y} - \sqrt{3}|\text{x}| = 2$ at a distance of $5$ units from their point of intersection. Find the coordinates of the foot of perpendiculars drawn from$ P1 , P2$ on the bisector of the angle between the given lines.
$[$Hint: Lines are $\text{y} = \sqrt{3}\text{x} + 2$ and $\text{y} = -\sqrt{3}\text{x} + 2$ according as $\text{x} \geq 0$ or $x < 0. y-$ axis is the bisector of the angles between the lines. $P_1, P_2$ are the points on these lines at a distance of $5$ units from the point of intersection of these lines which have a point on $y-$axis as common foot of perpendiculars from these points. The y$-$coordinate of the foot of the perpendicular is given by $2 + 5 \cos30^\circ.]$
