Answer:

18°, 72° and 90°.

Explanation:

It is given that the three interior angles have the measurements which are in a 1 : 4 : 5 ratio.

Let us assume x, 4x, and 5x are the three angles.

Now, from the property of triangles, the sum of all the interior angles is 180°.

Therefore, x + 4x + 5x = 180

⇒ 10x = 180

x = 18

Therefore, the angles of the triangle are 18°, 72° and 90°. (Answer)
