Alright, lets say the measure of the 3rd angle (the smallest one) is x degree, then measure of the 1st angle will be (x + 25) degree, and 2nd one: 3x degree. The sum of all the angles in any triangles is 180 degrees.

(x + 25) + 3x + x = 180

5x + 25 = 180 ---> 5x = 180 - 25 ---> 5x = 155 ---> x = 155/5 ---> x = 31o (third angle)

31 + 25 = 56o (first angle)

3 × 31 = 93o (second angle)

56 + 93 + 31 = 180
