Question
In a $\triangle\text{ABC},$ Prove that: $\tan\frac{\text{A+B}}{2}=\cot\frac{\text{C}}{2}$
✓
Answer
We have: $\text{A + B + C} = \pi$ $\big(\because$ sum of 3 angle of a triangle is $\pi=180^\circ\big)$ $\Rightarrow\text{A+B}=\pi-\text{C}$ $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{A+B}}{2}=\frac{\pi-\text{C}}{2}$ $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{A+B}}{2}=\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\text{C}}{2}$ $\Rightarrow\tan\Big(\frac{\text{A+B}}{2}\Big)=\tan\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\text{C}}{2}\Big)$ $=\cot\frac{\text{C}}{2}$ $\Big(\because\tan\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\Big)=\cot\theta\Big)$ Hence, $\tan\Big(\frac{\text{A+B}}{2}\Big)=\tan\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\text{C}}{2}\Big)$ $\text{Proved}$
