    If the sides of a triangle are \[13,7,8,\] then the greatest angle of the triangle is

    A)  \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    B)  \[\frac{3\pi }{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{2\pi }{3}\]

    D)  \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[a=13,\,\,b=7,\,\,c=8\] \[\therefore \] \[\cos A=\frac{{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}}{2bc}=\frac{{{(7)}^{2}}+{{(8)}^{2}}-{{(13)}^{2}}}{2\times 7\times 8}\] \[=\frac{49+64-169}{112}=-\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[A=\frac{2\pi }{3}\]
