We know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle equals 180, then,in this case we have the following equation:


b+2b+(b+16)=180

then, solving for b, we get:


\begin{gathered} b+2b+(b+16)=180 \\ \Rightarrow4b+16=180 \\ \Rightarrow4b=180-16=164 \\ \Rightarrow b=(164)/(4)=41 \\ b=41 \end{gathered}

now that we have that b = 41, we can find the measure of each angle:


\begin{gathered} b=41 \\ 2b=2(41)=82 \\ b+16=41+16=57 \end{gathered}
