Answer:

Explanation:

The exterior angle measure the same as the 2 angles more far away from the exterior

So 2 angles measure together 150 and the other angle 30

It could be

75+75+30

85+65+30

70+80+30

Be careful that some combinations resulting in 150 cannot form a triangle

For instance

100+50+30

Because the sum of 30+50 IS NOT bigger than 100

Condition for a triangle is that the sum of 2 sides is bigger than the 3rd sides .And it should be for all sides

Ex: 100+30 is bigger than 50

BUT

50 + 30 is not bigger than 100

So this combination is not possible
