If $ A, B, C $, are the interior angles of a triangle $ A B C $, prove that
If $ \angle A=90^{\circ} $, then find the value of $ \tan \left(\frac{B+C}{2}\right) $.


Given:

\( A, B, C \), are the interior angles of a triangle \( A B C \).

\( \angle A=90^{\circ} \)

To do:

We have to find the value of \( \tan \left(\frac{B+C}{2}\right) \).

Solution:  

We know that,

Sum of the angles in a triangle is $180^{\circ}$.

This implies,

$\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{90^{\circ}+\angle B+\angle C}{2}=\frac{180^{\circ}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{90^{\circ}}{2}+ \frac{\angle B+\angle C}{2}=90^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\angle B+\angle C}{2}=90^{\circ}-45^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\angle B+\angle C}{2}=45^{\circ}$

Therefore,

$\tan \left(\frac{B+C}{2}\right)=\tan 45^{\circ}$

$=1$         (Since $\tan 45^{\circ}=1$)

The value of \( \tan \left(\frac{B+C}{2}\right) \) is $1$.
