    In a \[\Delta ABC\] \[\frac{(a+b+c)(b+c-a)(c+a-b)(a+b-c)}{4{{b}^{2}}{{c}^{2}}}\] equals

    A) \[{{\cos }^{2}}A\]

    B) \[{{\cos }^{2}}B\]

    C) \[{{\sin }^{2}}A\]

    D) \[{{\sin }^{2}}B\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] We know that, \[2s=a+b+c\] \[\therefore \frac{(a+b+c)(b+c-a)(c+a-b)(a+b-c)}{4{{b}^{2}}{{c}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{2s(2s-2a)(2s-2b)(2s-2c)}{4{{b}^{2}}{{c}^{2}}}\] \[=4\frac{s(s-a)}{bc}\times \frac{(s-b)(s-c)}{bc}\] \[=4{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{A}{2}\times {{\sin }^{2}}\frac{A}{2}\] \[={{\sin }^{2}}A\]
