Step 1: sin⁡(60°+A)sin⁡(60°−A)=sin⁡260°−sin⁡2A=34−sin⁡2A\sin(60°+A)\sin(60°-A)=\sin^260°-\sin^2A=\dfrac34-\sin^2A.

Step 2: cos⁡(60°+A)cos⁡(60°−A)=cos⁡260°−sin⁡2A=14−sin⁡2A\cos(60°+A)\cos(60°-A)=\cos^260°-\sin^2A=\dfrac14-\sin^2A.

Step 3: Ratio =3/4−sin⁡2A1/4−sin⁡2A=3−4sin⁡2A1−4sin⁡2A=\dfrac{3/4-\sin^2A}{1/4-\sin^2A}=\dfrac{3-4\sin^2A}{1-4\sin^2A} (multiplying top and bottom by 44).

Step 4: Using 4sin⁡2A=2(1−cos⁡2A)4\sin^2A=2(1-\cos2A): numerator =3−2+2cos⁡2A=1+2cos⁡2A=3-2+2\cos2A=1+2\cos2A, denominator =1−2+2cos⁡2A=2cos⁡2A−1=1-2+2\cos2A=2\cos2A-1. …
