Solution

Let the common multiple of the given ratio be x.Let the measure of the Ist angle, the IInd angle and the IIIrd angle be x°, (2x)° and (3x)°, respectively.We know that the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°.Thus, we have:x+2x+3x=1806x=180x=30Measure of the Ist angle=30°Measure of the IInd angle =2×30°=60°Measure of the IIIrd angle = 3×30°=90°
