Answer:

60, 36, 84

Explanation:

The angles of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.

If the ratios are 5:3:7, that means that there are 15 pieces that we can break up the 180 degrees by.

180/15 = 12

Each value is 'worth' 12 degrees.

Thus the angles would be the ratios multiplied by 12.

5 x 12 = 60

3 x 12 = 36

7 x 12 = 84
