In a triangle ABC, if `sinAsin(B-C)=sinCsin(A-B),` then prove that `cotA ,cotB ,cotC` are in `AdotPdot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`sin(B-C)/sinC = sin(A-B)/sinA`
`=>(sinBcosC - sinCcosB)/sinC = (sinAcosB - sinBcosA)/sinA`
`=>sinBcotC - cosB = cosB - sinBcotA`
Diving both sides by `sinB`,
`=>cotC -cotB = cotB - cotA`
`=>2cotB = cotA+cotC`
Therefore, `cotA,cotB and cotC` are in A.P.
