Answer: three angles of the triangle are 24 degrees, 84 degrees, and 72 degrees.

Explanation:

Let's call the first angle x.

Then the second angle is x + 60.

And the third angle is 3x.

We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

We can use this information to set up the following equation:

x + x + 60 + 3x = 180

5x + 60 = 180

5x = 120

x = 24

So the first angle is 24 degrees.

The second angle is 24 + 60 = 84 degrees.

And the third angle is 3x = 3 * 24 = 72 degrees.

Therefore, the three angles of the triangle are 24 degrees, 84 degrees, and 72 degrees.
