In `triangle ABC`, prove that `sin(A/2)+sin(B/2)+sin(C/2)le(3)/(2)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`sin(A)/(2)+sin(B)/(2)+sin(C)/(2)`
`=2sin(A+B)/(4)cos(A-B)/(4)+sin(C)/(2)`
`=2sin(pi-C)/(4)cos(A-B)/(4)+cos(pi-C)/(2)`
`=2sin(pi-C)/(4)cos(A-B)/(4)+1-2sin^(2)(pi-C)/(4)`
`le1+2sin(pi-C)/(4)-2sin^(2)(pi-C)/(4)(because cos(A-B)/(4)le1)`
`=1-2[(sin(pi-C)/(4)-(1)/(2))^(2)-(1)/(4)]`
`=(3)/(2)-2(sin(pi-C)/(4)-(1)/(2))^(2)le(3)/(2)`
