    40, 60 and 80 degrees.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the smallest angle be x degrees. Then:

    The 3 angles are x, x + 40 and x + 20.

    As there are 180 degrees in a triangle:

    x + x + 40 + x + 20 = 180

    3x = 180 - 40--20 = 120

    x = 40 degrees.

    The other 2 angles are 60 and 80 degrees.

    A = x + 40°, B = x, C = x + 20°

    (x + 40°) + x + (x + 20°) = 180°

    3x + 60° = 180°

    3x = 180° - 60°

    3x = 120°

    x = 40°

    B = 40°

    A = 40° + 40° = 80°

    C = 40° + 20° = 60°
