In the given triangle, one angle is a right angle.

Given
\sin \Theta =(3)/(5)


\Theta =\arcsin (3)/(5)


\Theta = 36.8^(\circ)=37^(\circ)

So, the other angle is 37 degrees.

Now, we have to find the third angle.

By using angle sum property in a triangle.


90^(\circ)+37^(\circ)++ third angle =
180^(\circ)

Third angle =
180^(\circ)-127^(\circ)

=
53^(\circ)

So, the other angles are 37 degrees and 53 degrees.
