Let A,B and C be three real numbers such that α=B−C,β=C−A and γ=A−B, clearly α+β+γ=0. We have =cos2A+sin2AcosAcosB+sinAsinBcosAcosB+sinAsinBcos2B+sin2BcosCcosA+sinCsinAcosBcosC+sinBsinC cosCcosA+sinAsinCcosBcosC+sinBsinCcos2C+sin2C =cosA sinA 0cosB sinB 0cosC sinC 0cosAsinA0cosBsinB0cosCsinC0=(0)(0)=0.
