Question
prove that:
$\sin(\text{B}-\text{C})\cos(\text{A}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{C}-\text{A})\cos(\text{B}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})\cos(\text{C}-\text{D})=0$

Answer

We have,
$\text{LHS}=\sin(\text{B}-\text{C})\cos(\text{A}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{C}-\text{A})\cos(\text{B}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})\cos(\text{C}-\text{D})$
$=\ \frac{1}{2}[2\sin(\text{B}-\text{C})\cos(\text{A}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{C}-\text{A})\cos(\text{B}-\text{D})+2\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})\cos(\text{C}-\text{D})]$
$=\ \frac{1}{2}[\sin(\text{B}-\text{C}+\text{A}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{B}-\text{C}-\text{A+D})+\sin(\text{C}-\text{A}+\text{B}-\text{D})\\ \ \ \ \ +\sin(\text{C}-\text{A}-\text{B}+\text{D})+\sin(\text{A}-\text{B+C}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{A}-\text{B}-\text{C+D})]$
$=\ \frac{1}{2}[\sin(\text{A+B}-\text{C}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{B+D}-\text{C}-\text{A})+\sin(\text{B+C}-\text{A}-\text{D})\\ \ \ \ \ +\sin(\text{C+D}-\text{A}-\text{B})+\sin(\text{A+C}-\text{B}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{A+D}-\text{B}-\text{C})]$
$=\ \frac{1}{2}[\sin(\text{A+B}-\text{C}-\text{D})-\sin(\text{A+C}-\text{B}-\text{D})-\sin(\text{A+D}-\text{B}-\text{C})\\ \ \ \ \ -\sin(\text{A+B}-\text{C}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{A+C}-\text{B}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{A+D}-\text{B}-\text{C})]$
$=\ \frac{1}{2}[0]$
$=\ 0$
$=\ \text{RHS}$
$\sin(\text{B}-\text{C})\cos(\text{A}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{C}-\text{A})\cos(\text{B}-\text{D})+\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})\cos(\text{C}-\text{D})=0$
Hence proved.
