The interior angles of a triangle total 180 degrees.
.
We are told the ratio of the angles are 1:3:5.
So we can formulate an equation where 'x' represents the unknown first angle.
.
x + 3x + 5x = 180
.
9x = 180
.
x = 20
3x = 60
5x = 100
Total = 180
.
Answer: The angles are 20, 60, and 100 degrees.
.
Done.
