Let�s name the angles A, B, and C.
Then you know that B = A + 20 and C = 2(A).
Finally since it�s a triangle, the sum of all of the angles equals 180 or A + B + C = 180.
Substitute the values of B and C from above and you get :
A + B + C = 180
A + (A+20) + 2A = 180
4A + 20 = 180
4A + 20 � 20 = 180 � 20
4A = 160
A = 40
Substitute back into your equations for B and C.
B = A + 20
B = 40 + 20
B = 60
C = 2A
C = 2(40)
C = 80

A = 40
B = 60
C = 80
