let angle a= 30 degree
angle b = 90 degree
angle c = 60 degree
  • now
cos a + cos b + cos c = cos 30+cos90+cos60
=sqrt 3/2 + 0 + 1/2
= ( sqrt 3+1 )/2
now we can compare the value of cos a + cos b + cos c and 3/2
cosA+cosB+cosC<3/2
proved

from JENSEN`S inequality- f(a)+f(b)+f(c)<3f(a+b+c/3) if f(x)=cosx then f(A)=cosA f(B)=cosB f(C)=cosC and A+B+C=Pi now f(A)+f(B)+f(C)<3f(A+B+C/3) cosA+cosB+cosC<3cos(pi/3) cosA+cosB+cosC<3/2
