As in the Napier's Analogy proof (§3.2.7), by the Sine Rule b=2Rsin⁡B,c=2Rsin⁡Cb=2R\sin B,c=2R\sin C, so b−cb+c=sin⁡B−sin⁡Csin⁡B+sin⁡C=2cos⁡B+C2sin⁡B−C22sin⁡B+C2cos⁡B−C2\dfrac{b-c}{b+c}=\dfrac{\sin B-\sin C}{\sin B+\sin C}=\dfrac{2\cos\frac{B+C}{2}\sin\frac{B-C}{2}}{2\sin\frac{B+C}{2}\cos\frac{B-C}{2}} (sum-to-product on both numerator and denominator) $=\cot\dfrac{B+C}{2}\tan\dfrac{B-C}{ …
