In any triangle ABC, prove the following:

Let a, b, c be the sides of any triangle ABC. Then by applying the sine rule, we get




a = k sin A


Similarly, b = k sin B


So, a - b = k(sin A - sin B)..(i)


So the given LHS becomes,



Substituting equation (i) in above equation, we get



But,



Substituting the above values in equation (ii), we get





Rearranging the above equation we get



But


So the above equation becomes,





But from sine rule,



So the above equation becomes,



Hence proved
