    13 degrees, 115 degrees, and 52 degrees

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The addition of the three internal angles in a triangle should give 180 degrees.

    So let's name the angles A, B, C, with:

    A being the smallest angle

    B being the one that equals the smallest one plus 102 degrees. That is: B = A+102

    C being the one that is 4 times the smallest one. That is: C = 4 * A

    Now add the three to obtain 180, but writing all of them in terms of the smallest angle A:

    A + A + 102 + 4 A = 180

    2A + 4A + 102 = 180

    6 A + 102 = 180

    6 A = 180 - 102 = 78

    A = 78/6 = 13 degrees

    Therefore, angle B must be: A + 102 = 13 + 102 = 115 degrees

    C = 4 * A = 4 * 13 = 52 degrees
