Final answer:

The measures of the angles are 40 degrees, 60 degrees, and 80 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the measures of the angles of a triangle that are in a ratio of 2:3:4, we can use the fact that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Let's assume the angles are 2x, 3x, and 4x. So, we have the equation:

2x + 3x + 4x = 180

Combining like terms, we get:

9x = 180

Dividing both sides by 9, we find:

x = 20

Substituting the value of x back into the angles, we get:

2x = 2(20) = 40 degrees

3x = 3(20) = 60 degrees

4x = 4(20) = 80 degrees
