Let
Addition of the three equations
2(a+b+c)=15k, that is,
Substituting (1),(2), (3) to (4) gives
a=3.5k,b=2.5k,c=1.5k
Therefore, the maximum internal angle is A,
Using the law of cosine:
\cos A = \dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}
=\dfrac{6.25k^2+2.25k^2-12.25k^2}{7.5k^2}
=-1
\because A∈(0, 180°)
\therefore A=120°.
Therefore, the maximum internal angle of △ABC is 120°
Option C is the right choice.
