.

x + 2x + 3x = 180 degrees

    6x      = 180

     x      = 180/6 = 30  degrees.


ANSWER.  The angles are 30 degs, 60 degs and 90 degs.

Solved.

Let the smallest angle be x deg
the second angle will be 2x deg
The third will be 3x deg
x+2x+3x = 180 deg ( sum of angles of a triangle =180 deg)
6x =180 deg.
x = 30 deg
2x =60
3x =90
the other two angles 60 deg and 90 deg
