In $Delta ABC$, find $cotdfrac{B}{2}.cotdfrac{C}{2}$ if $b+c=3a$












1















If in a triangle ABC, $b+c=3a$, then $cotdfrac{B}{2}.cotdfrac{C}{2}$ is equal to ?




My reference gives the solution $2$, but I have no clue of where to start ?



My Attempt
$$
cotdfrac{B}{2}.cotdfrac{C}{2}=frac{cosfrac{B}{2}.cosfrac{C}{2}}{sinfrac{B}{2}.sinfrac{C}{2}}=frac{cos(frac{A-B}{2})+cos(frac{A+B}{2})}{cos(frac{A-B}{2})-cos(frac{A+B}{2})}
$$

          Hint:



          $$b+c=3aimpliessin B+sin C=3sin A$$



          $$iff2sindfrac{B+C}2cosdfrac{B-C}2=6sindfrac A2cosdfrac A2$$



          Now use $dfrac{B+C}2=dfracpi2-dfrac A2,cosdfrac{B+C}2=?$



          As $0<A<pi,sinsindfrac A2ne0$



          $impliescosdfrac{B-C}2=3sindfrac A2=3cosdfrac{B+C}2$

            In the standard notation we obtain: $$sinbeta+singamma=3sin(beta+gamma)$$ or
            $$2sinfrac{beta+gamma}{2}cosfrac{beta-gamma}{2}=6sinfrac{beta+gamma}{2}cosfrac{beta-gamma}{2}$$ or
            $$cosfrac{beta}{2}cosfrac{gamma}{2}+sinfrac{beta}{2}sinfrac{gamma}{2}=3left(cosfrac{beta}{2}cosfrac{gamma}{2}-sinfrac{beta}{2}sinfrac{gamma}{2}right)$$ or
            $$cosfrac{beta}{2}cosfrac{gamma}{2}=2sinfrac{beta}{2}sinfrac{gamma}{2}$$ or
            $$cotfrac{beta}{2}cotfrac{gamma}{2}=2.$$
            Also, we can use the following way:
            $$cotfrac{beta}{2}cotfrac{gamma}{2}=frac{a+b+c}{b+c-a}=frac{4a}{2a}=2.$$
