Answer

Measure of the largest angle is $110°$ Measure of the smallest angle is $20°$ Measure of the remaining angle is $50°$

Work Step by Step

Let the largest angle is $x$,smallest angle is $y$ and the remaining angle is $z$ Given, the measure of largest angle is $90°$ more than the smallest angle. $x=90° + y$ The measure of remaining angle is $30°$ more than the smallest angle. $z=30° + y$ Sum of the angles of the triangle is $180°$ $x+y+z=180°$ $90° + y+y+30° + y=180°$ $120° + 3y=180°$ $ 3y=60°$ $ y=20°$ Measure of the largest angle is $x= 90° + 20° = 110°$ Measure of the smallest angle is $y= 20°$ Measure of the remaining angle is $z=30° + 20° = 50°$
