Given a triangle with vertices $A,B,C$, Show $sin(A)+sin(B)+sin(C) leq frac{3 sqrt{3}}{2}$.
Here is a proof using Jensen inequality: $sin(x)$ is concave from $0$ to $pi$.
hence $frac{sin(A)+sin(B)+sin(C)}{3} leq sin(frac{A+B+C}{3})=frac{sqrt 3}{2}$ and hence we get the desired inequality by multiplying the previous inequality by $3$.

You want maximize $$ f(A,B,C)=sin A+sin B+sin C$$ subject to $$ A+B+C=180$$
Lagrange multipliers implies $$ (cos A,cos B ,cos C)=(1,1,1)$$ which gives you $$A=B=C=60$$
That gives the maximum value of $3sqrt 3/2$

This is a proof without Jensen's inequality. It mimic the proof for AM $ge$ GM for $3$ items.
Notice for any $x, y in (0,pi)$, $$sin x + sin y = 2sinfrac{x+y}{2}cosfrac{x-y}{2} le 2sinfrac{x+y}{2}$$
So for any $x,y,z in (0,pi)$, if we define $w = frac{x+y+z}{3}$, we will have
$$begin{align}sin x + sin y + sin z + sin w
&le 2sinfrac{x+y}{2} + 2sinfrac{z+w}{2}\
& le 4sinfrac{x+y+z+w}{4} \
&= 4sin w
end{align}$$
This leads to
$$sin x + sin y + sin z le 3 sin w = 3 sin frac{x+y+z}{3}$$
For any non-degenerate triangle, its angle $A,B,C in (0,pi)$ and $A+B+C = pi$. Above result implies
$$sin A + sin B + sin C le 3 sinfrac{pi}{3} = frac{3sqrt{3}}{2}$$

Notice for any $x, y in (0,pi)$, $$sin x + sin y = 2sinfrac{x+y}{2}cosfrac{x-y}{2} le 2sinfrac{x+y}{2}$$
So for any $x,y,z in (0,pi)$, if we define $w = frac{x+y+z}{3}$, we will have
$$begin{align}sin x + sin y + sin z + sin w
&le 2sinfrac{x+y}{2} + 2sinfrac{z+w}{2}\
& le 4sinfrac{x+y+z+w}{4} \
&= 4sin w
end{align}$$
This leads to
$$sin x + sin y + sin z le 3 sin w = 3 sin frac{x+y+z}{3}$$
For any non-degenerate triangle, its angle $A,B,C in (0,pi)$ and $A+B+C = pi$. Above result implies
$$sin A + sin B + sin C le 3 sinfrac{pi}{3} = frac{3sqrt{3}}{2}$$
