In triangle ABC, the opposite sides of angles a, B and C are a, B and C respectively, and a > b > C, if a & # 178;

In triangle ABC, the opposite sides of angles a, B and C are a, B and C respectively, and a > b > C, if a & # 178;


∵ a ^ 2 < B ^ 2 + C ^ 2, B ^ 2 + C ^ 2-A ^ 2 > 0 ∵ C < B < a ∵ by cosine theorem: cosa = (b ^ 2 + C ^ 2-A ^ 2) / 2BC > 0, ∵ a in △ ABC is the largest, and 0 < a < π, so first determine 0 < a < π / 2
∵a>b>c ∴A>B>C,2A>B+C=π-A,3A>π,A>π/3
∴π/3<A<π/2
