Solution
[tex]\;[/tex]
Casually, we take the three sides as a, b, and c, and the opposite angles as A, B, and C.
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$A+B+C=\pi$ $\dots$[Eqn.1]}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
Equation 1 follows the below.
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$\tan^{2}\bigg(\dfrac{B+C}{2}\bigg)$}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$=\tan^{2}\bigg(\dfrac{\pi-A}{2}\bigg)$}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$=\tan^{2}\bigg(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\dfrac{A}{2}\bigg)$}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$=\cot^{2}\dfrac{A}{2}$}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
In a right triangle, the equation applies.
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$\sin^{2}\theta+\cos^{2}\theta=1$}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
Then,
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$\sin^{2}\theta+\cos^{2}\theta=1$}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$\dfrac{\sin^{2}\theta}{\sin^{2}\theta}+\dfrac{\cos^{2}\theta}{\sin^{2}\theta}=\csc^{2}\theta$}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$\therefore 1+\cot^{2}\theta=\csc^{2}\theta$ $\dots$[Eqn.2]}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
Equation 2 follows the below.
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$\cot^{2}\dfrac{A}{2}$}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$=\csc^{2}\dfrac{A}{2}-1$}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
If we integrate all the calculations⋯
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$\tan^{2}\bigg(\dfrac{B+C}{2}\bigg)$}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$=\cot^{2}\dfrac{A}{2}$}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\text{$=\csc^{2}\dfrac{A}{2}-1$}[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
The LHS equals the RHS. Now, we find that the equation is always true.

It is because the functions are defined on a circle.
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
1st Step
[tex]\;[/tex]
When an angle [tex]\text{$\dfrac{n\pi}{2}\pm\theta$}[/tex] is odd in n, change the function.
[tex]\;[/tex]
[tex]\;[/tex]
When an angle [tex]\text{$\dfrac{n\pi}{2}\pm\theta$}[/tex] is even in n, keep the function.
[tex]\;[/tex]
2nd Step
[tex]\;[/tex]
Consider θ as an acute angle.
[tex]\;[/tex]
Note that we keep the sign of the original function where the angles lie in which quadrant.
