4 D = cos 2 B + ( sin C + cos A ) ( sin C − cos A ) = 0 cos 2 B + sin 2 C − cos 2 A = 0 Due to the Pythagorean Trigonometric Identity sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1 1 − sin 2 B + sin 2 C − ( 1 − sin 2 A ) = 0 sin 2 A − sin 2 B + sin 2 C = 0 Due to the Law of Sines sin A = 2 R a sin B = 2 R b sin C = 2 R c Where R represents the radius of the circumscribed circle of △ A B C ( 2 R a ) 2 − ( 2 R b ) 2 + ( 2 R c ) 2 = 0 4 R 2 a 2 − b 2 + c 2 = 0 ∴ a 2 + c 2 = b 2 ( ∵ R = 0 ) Therefore the triangle △ A B C is a right triangle where ∠ B is right angle.
