# Math Help - Given that:

1. ## Given that:

$(1+cosA)(1+cosB)(1+cosY)=(1-cosA)(1-cosB)(1-cosY)
$

Show tht one of the values of each member of this equality is sinA sinB sinY.

plss explain with all the steps as i m in 10th std.....

Multiply both sides by $(1+\cos A)(1+\cos B)(1+\cos Y)$, noting that, on the RHS, $(1-\cos A)(1+\cos A) = (1-\cos^2A), ...$ etc:

$(1+\cos A)^2(1+\cos B)^2(1+\cos Y)^2=(1-\cos^2A)(1-\cos^2B)(1-\cos^2Y)$

Can you complete it now? (Hint: $1-\cos^2A=\sin^2A$)
