Answer: see proof below

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Identity: cos²Ф + sin²Ф = 1

Use the Difference Identity: cos(A - B) = cosA · cosB + sinA · sinB

Use the Double Angle Identity: cos 2Ф = 1 - 2sin²Ф

Proof LHS → RHS

LHS: (cosA - cosB)² + (sinA - sinB)²

Expand: cos²A - 2cosA · cosB + cos²B + sin²A - 2sinA · sinB + sin²B

Pythagorean Identity: 2 - 2cosA · cosB - 2sinA · sinB

Factor: 2(1 - (cosA · cosB + sinA · sinB))

Difference Identity: 2(1 - (cos(A - B))

Let Ф = (A-B)/2: 2(1 - cos2Ф)

Double Angle Identity: 2(1 - (1 - 2sin²Ф))

Simplify: 2(1 - 1 + 2sin²Ф)

= 4sin²Ф

Substitute (A-B)/2=Ф: 4sin²(A-B)/2

LHS = RHS: 4sin²(A-B)/2 = 4sin²(A-B)/2
