If  A, B, C  are angle of a triangle. Show that        cos (1/2)C + cos (1/2)(A − B)  =  2 sin (1/2)A sin (1/2)B
$$\mathrm{If}\:\:\mathrm{A},\:\mathrm{B},\:\mathrm{C}\:\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{angle}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{triangle}.\:\mathrm{Show}\:\mathrm{that} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{C}\:+\:\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{A}\:−\:\mathrm{B}\right)\:\:=\:\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{A}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{B} \\ $$

A+B+C=180^°   cos(x+y)−cos(x−y)=−2sin(x)sin(y)  ∴ 2sin(x)sin(y)=cos(x−y)−cos(x+y)  R.H.S.  2sin(1/2)Asin(1/2)B=cos(1/2)(A−B)−cos(1/2)(A+B)  =cos(1/2)(A−B)−cos(1/2)(180−C)  =cos(1/2)(A−B)−cos(90−(C/2))  =cos(1/2)(A−B)−sin(1/2)C  ≠L.H.S.  whats wrong?  the question or me?

let A=60° B=45° C=75°  cos 37.5° +cos 7.5° ≈1.78  2sin 30° sin 22.5° ≈0.38  formula is wrong
$$\mathrm{let}\:{A}=\mathrm{60}°\:{B}=\mathrm{45}°\:{C}=\mathrm{75}° \\ $$$$\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{37}.\mathrm{5}°\:+\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{7}.\mathrm{5}°\:\approx\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{78} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2sin}\:\mathrm{30}°\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{22}.\mathrm{5}°\:\approx\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{38} \\ $$$$\mathrm{formula}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{wrong} \\ $$
