Answer: The angles are 67.5°, 22.5° and 90°.

Explanation:

It should be noted that a straight angle is always equal to 180°.

The straight angle is split in the ratio 3:1:4.

The measure of each angle will be:

a. = 3/(3+1+4) × 180°

= 3/8 × 180°

= 67.5°

b. 1/8 × 180° = 22.5°

c. 4/8 × 180° = 90°

The angles are 67.5°, 22.5° and 90°.
