a^2=(b + c)^2-4bc ^2 A 2 - Vidyadip

Question

$\text{a}^2=(\text{b + c})^2-4\text{bc}\cos^2\frac{\text{A}}{2}$

✓

Answer

$\text{RHS}=(\text{b + c})^2-4\text{bc}\cos^2\frac{\text{A}}{2}$ $=\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2+2\text{bc}-4\text{bc}\Big(\frac{1+\cos\text{A}}{2}\Big)$ $=\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2+2\text{bc}-2\text{bc}(1+\cos\text{A})$ $=\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2+2\text{bc}(1-1-\cos\text{A})$ $=\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2-2\text{bc}\cos\text{A}$ $=\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2-2\text{bc}\Big(\frac{\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{a}^2}{2\text{bc}}\Big)$ $\Big(\because\cos\text{A}=\frac{\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{a}^2}{2\text{bc}}\Big)$ $=\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{b}^2-\text{c}^2+\text{a}^2$ $=\text{a}^2=\text{LHS}$ Hence proved.
