Given

cosA+cosB+cosC=0

cosA+cosB=cosC

(cosA+cosB)3=cos3C

cos3A+cos3B+3cosAcosB(cosA+cosB)=cos3C

cos3A+cos3B+3cosAcosB(cosC)=cos3C

cos3A+cos3B+cos3C=3cosAcosBcosC

4cos3A+4cos3B+4cos3C=12cosAcosBcosC
Now
cos3A+cos3B+cos3B

=4cos3A3cosA+4cos3B3cosB+4cos3C3cosC

=4cos3A+4cos3B+4cos3C3(cosA+cosB+cosC)

=12cosAcosBcosC+30

=12cosAcosBcosC
