Answer

Measure of the largest angle is $112°$ Measure of the smallest angle is $23°$ Measure of the remaining angle is $45°$

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 $3°$ less than $5 $ times measure of the smallest angle. $x=5y-3°$ The measure of remaining angle is $1°$ less than twice the measure of the smallest angle.. $z=2y-1°$ Sum of the angles of the triangle is $180°$ $x+y+z=180°$ $5y-3°+y+2y-1°=180°$ $8y-4° =180°$ $ 8y=184°$ $ y=23°$ Measure of the largest angle is $x= 5(23°) -3° = 112°$ Measure of the smallest angle is $y= 23°$ Measure of the remaining angle is $z=2(23°)-1° = 45°$
