In this case, 13 + 16 + 21 = 50 \"units\".  Your first angle (13 \"units\") represents (13/50) of the total degrees in a triangle (which is 180).  So, the first angle is (13/50) * 180 = 46.8 degrees.  Your second angle (16 \"units\") represents (16/50) of the total degrees in a triangle = (16/50) * 180 = 57.6 degrees.  Your last angle (21 \"units\") represents (21/50) of the total degrees = (21/50) * 180 = 75.6 degrees.\r<BR>\n" );
