    The measures of the sides of a triangle are 3, 5 and 7. The greatest angle is:

    A)  \[60{}^\circ \]                                  

    B)         \[100{}^\circ \]

    C)         \[90{}^\circ \]                                  

    D)         \[120{}^\circ \]

    E)         \[140{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[a=3,b=5,c=7\] \[\therefore \]  \[\cos C=\frac{{{3}^{2}}+{{5}^{2}}-{{7}^{2}}}{2\times 5\times 3}\]                 \[=\frac{9+25-49}{30}\]                 \[=-\frac{1}{2}\]                 \[=\cos 120{}^\circ \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\angle C=120{}^\circ \]
