    90°, 51° and 39°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

    Let the smallest angle be x then the other angle is x + 12, thus

    x + x + 12 + 90 = 180, that is

    2x + 102 = 180 (subtract 102 from both sides)

    2x = 78 (divide both sides by 2)

    x = 39

    The other angle is 39 + 12 = 51

    The 3 angles are 90°, 51° and 39°
