Detailed Solution
Given that b(b+c)=a2⇒bc=a2−b2sinB⋅sinC=sin2A−sin2BsinB⋅sinC=sin(A+B)sin(A−B)sin B · sinC = sin C·sinA-B sinB=sin(A−B)⇒2B=A And similarly c(c+a)=b2⇒2C=B We have A+B+C=π ⇒ 2B +B+ B2=π ⇒7B2=π⇒B=2π7⇒A=4π7, C=π7∴cosπ7.cos2π7.cos4π7=sin 8π78 sin π7=−18 cos A cos 2A cos 4A .......cos 2n-1A=sin 2nA2nsinA
