Since angle A is 20 degrees,

1) Find the third angle (C)

so now we have the third angle, C , which is 40 degrees

since the properties of a triangle tell us that the sum of angles must equal to 180 degrees, we can now solve for the last angle
2) Solve for last angle

so the 3 angles of the triangle are 20, 40, and 120 degrees
