Answer:

24° and 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

hypothetically if angle A = 130°, and the ratio of the two other angles (B and C) are 12:13, hence;


(b)/(c) = (12)/(13) \\ 13b = 12c \\ b = (12)/(13) c

sum of all angles in a triangle equals 180°, therefore:


a + b + c = 180 \\ 130 + b + c = 180 \\ b + c = 50

hence, there are two equations:


b = (12)/(13)c \\ b + c = 50

replace angle B in the second equation with the first equation:


( (12)/(13)c) + c = 50 \\ (25)/(13)c = 50 \\ c = 26

if C = 26°, then to find B:


b + c = 50 \\ b + 26 = 50 \\ b = 24

therefore the two other angles are 24° and 26°
