Let x be the measure of the smallest angle.


Then the largest angle's measure is 9x, according to the condition,

and the third angle is 2x.


Further, the sum of interior angles of each triangle is 180 degrees, which gives you an equation


x + 2x + 9x = 180  ====>  12x = 180  ====>  x =  = 15 degrees.


Answer.  The angles are  15 degrees, 30 degrees and 9*15 = 135 degrees.
