From the angles given, we can find that ∠ A P B = 1 5 0 ∘ , ∠ A P C = 1 1 0 ∘ , and ∠ C P B = 1 0 0 ∘ .
Let A B = 1 , then by sine rule on △ A B P :
sin 2 0 ∘ A P ⟹ A P B P = sin 1 0 ∘ B P = sin 1 5 0 ∘ A B = 0 . 5 1 = 2 = 2 sin 2 0 ∘ = 2 sin 1 0 ∘
Using sine rule again on △ A C P :
sin 1 1 0 ∘ A C ⟹ A C = sin 3 0 ∘ A P = 0 . 5 2 sin 2 0 ∘ = 4 sin 2 0 ∘ sin 1 1 0 ∘
Let ∠ A C B = θ , then ∠ A B C = 1 3 0 ∘ − θ . Using sine rule on △ A B C :
A B sin θ sin θ tan θ ⟹ θ = A C sin ( 1 3 0 ∘ − θ ) = 4 sin 2 0 ∘ sin 1 1 0 ∘ sin ( 1 3 0 ∘ − θ ) = 2 ( cos 9 0 ∘ − cos 1 3 0 ∘ ) sin 1 3 0 ∘ cos θ − cos 1 3 0 ∘ sin θ = − 2 cos 1 3 0 ∘ sin 1 3 0 ∘ cos θ − cos 1 3 0 ∘ sin θ = − 2 tan 1 3 0 ∘ cos θ + 2 sin θ = tan 5 0 ∘ cos θ = tan 5 0 ∘ = 5 0 ∘ Note that A B = 1 and A C = 4 sin 2 0 ∘ sin 1 1 0 ∘ By 2 cos ( A − B ) − cos ( A + B ) = sin A sin B Note that tan ( 1 8 0 ∘ − x ) = − tan x
Therefore, the largest angle of △ A B C is ∠ A B C = 1 8 0 ∘ − 5 0 ∘ − 5 0 ∘ = 8 0 ∘
