Step 1: Since A+B+C=πA+B+C=\pi, A2+B2=π2−C2\dfrac{A}{2}+\dfrac{B}{2}=\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\dfrac{C}{2}.

Step 2: Take tangent of both sides: tan⁡(A2+B2)=cot⁡C2\tan\left(\dfrac{A}{2}+\dfrac{B}{2}\right)=\cot\dfrac{C}{2}, i.e. tan⁡A2+tan⁡B21−tan⁡A2tan⁡B2=cot⁡C2\dfrac{\tan\frac{A}{2}+\tan\frac{B}{2}}{1-\tan\frac{A}{2}\tan\frac{B}{2}}=\cot\dfrac{C}{2}. …
