The second angle of a triangle is twice the measure of the first angle. The third angle is 12° more than the measure of the first angle. Find the three angles.

Let the first angle be x
Then, 2nd angle is 2x
And, 3rd angle is x + 12.
We know, sum of all angles of triangle is 180°.
So,
x + 2x + x + 12 = 180°
4x = 180° - 12°
4x = 168°
x = 168/4
x = 42°
So, first angle = 42°
2nd angle = 2(42°)
= 84°
3rd angle = 42° + 12°
= 54°
