1. Problem Description

We are given a triangle where one of the angles is 25\frac{2}{5} of the second angle and 14\frac{1}{4} of the third angle. We need to find the measures of all three angles of the triangle.

2. Solution Steps

Let the three angles of the triangle be a,b,ca, b, c. We are given that
a=25ba = \frac{2}{5}b
a=14ca = \frac{1}{4}c
We also know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees:
a+b+c=180a + b + c = 180
From the given equations, we can express bb and cc in terms of aa:
b=52ab = \frac{5}{2}a
c=4ac = 4a
Now we can substitute these expressions into the equation for the sum of the angles:
a+52a+4a=180a + \frac{5}{2}a + 4a = 180
Multiply by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
2a+5a+8a=3602a + 5a + 8a = 360
15a=36015a = 360
a=36015a = \frac{360}{15}
a=24a = 24
Now we can find bb and cc:
b=52a=52(24)=512=60b = \frac{5}{2}a = \frac{5}{2}(24) = 5 \cdot 12 = 60
c=4a=4(24)=96c = 4a = 4(24) = 96
So, the three angles are 24, 60, and 96 degrees.

3. Final Answer

The three angles of the triangle are 24°, 60°, and 96°.
