    Largest angle is 105°

    Smallest angle is 21°

    The second angle is 54°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the largest angle be x°

    The smallest angle will be 1/5x°

    The second angle will be x° - 51°

    Angles in a triangle add up to 180° so;

    x + x - 51 + 1/5x = 180

    11/5x = 180 + 51, 11/5x = 231, x = 105°

    Smallest angle is 1/5 * 105 = 21°

    The second angle is 105 - 51 = 54°
