3 : 4 : 5 means that there are 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 equal parts
And the angles of a triangle sum to 180
So....one of these angles is 3/12 of this = 3/12 * 180 = 1/4 * 180 = 45°
And another of the angles is 4/12 of this = 4/12 * 180 = 1/3 * 180 = 60°
And the last angle must be 180 - 45 - 60 = 75°
+229 I would just take the 12 parts, and divide 180 the correct amount of times. That 1st answer is over complicated. LOL!
