3/2:11/4:19/4 convert all to x/4
6/4:11/4:19/4
so the ratio is 6:11:19 for a total of 36 parts (6+11+19=36)
There are 180 degrees in a triangle so each part=180/36=5 degrees
angle one is 6 parts so 6(5 degrees)=30 degrees ANSWER 1 30 degrees
angle two is 11 parts so 11(5 degrees)=55 degrees ANSWER 2=55 degrees
angle three is 19 parts so 19(5 degrees)=95 degrees ANSWER 3 =95 degrees
