The problem says A˃B˃C and also says: A=2B, B=2C
We know that the sum of internal angles in a triangle is 180, so this means A+B+C=180
Replace B into A and you get A=2(2C)=4C
Replace now A anb B into A+B+C=180
4C+2C+C=180 solve for angle C:
7C=180
C=180/7= 25.71
Replace the value os C into A anb B
A=4C=4*25.71=102.86
B=2C=2*25.71=51.43
So the answer is A= 102.86, B= 51.43 and C=25.71
