There may be a less awkward way to do this, but this method does work.
Smallest = 2/3 * 3/7 = 6/ 21 of largest
Middle = 9/21 0f largest
largest = 21/21
6 + 9 + 21 = 36 parts total.
=============================================
6/36 = x/180 = 30 degrees.
9/36 = x/180 = 45 degrees.
21/36 = x/180 = 105 degrees.
================================================
To check.
45 degrees * 2/3 is 30 degrees.
105 degrees * 3/7 is 45 degrees.
This does check.
