Let 
represent the measure of the first angle. Then the measure of the second angle must be 
and the measure of the third angle must be 
. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any triangle is 
, so:
\ +\ (2x\ +\ 8)\ =\ 180)
Solve for , then calculate and

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
