SOLUTION: Show that (b+a)sinA = acos�(B+C), where A, B and C are angles of a triangle and a, b and c are corresponding sides.

Question 1131928: Show that (b+a)sinA = acos�(B+C), where A, B and C are angles of a triangle and a, b and c are corresponding sides.

This is not true in general because if it were true in general it
would hold true for an equilateral triangle with

a = b = c = 1 and A = B = C = 60�

Substituting:

 



 





Which is false.  So since it is false for an equilateral triangle
with all sides 1 and all angles 60�, it is NOT true in general.
