H is the orthocenter of acute triangle ABC and the extensions of AH, BH, and CH
intersect the circumcircle of traingle ABC at A prime, B prime and C prime.
We know angle AHB : angle BHC : angle CHA = 9 : 10 : 11.
Find angle AprimeBprimeCprime in degrees.

$$\text{Let \angle A'B'C' = \angle CAB = x } \\ \text{Let \angle ACB= \alpha  } \\ \text{Let \angle BAC= \beta  } \\ \text{Let \angle CBA= \gamma  } \\ \text{Let \angle AHB = \gamma + \beta } \\ \text{Let \angle BHC = \alpha + \gamma } \\ \text{Let \angle CHA = \beta + \alpha } \\ \text{Let  \mathbf{x = 180^{\circ}-2 \times\gamma }}$$

In triangle ABC we set the angles $$\alpha, \beta \text{ and } \gamma$$

further:

$$\mathbf{ \large{x =180^{\circ} - 2 \times \gamma} }$$

$$\begin{array}{|rcrcrcrcrcr|} \hline \angle AHB &:& \angle BHC &:& \angle CHA &=& 9 &:& 10 &:& 11 \\ \gamma + \beta &:& \alpha + \gamma &:& \beta + \alpha &=& 9 &:& 10 &:& 11 \\ \hline \end{array}$$

$$\begin{array}{rclrclrcl} \dfrac{\alpha + \gamma }{\beta + \alpha} &=& \dfrac{10}{11} \qquad & \qquad \dfrac{\gamma + \beta}{\beta + \alpha} &=& \dfrac{9}{11} \\\\ \dfrac{\alpha + \gamma +\gamma + \beta }{\beta + \alpha} &=& \dfrac{10+9}{11} \\\\ \dfrac{\alpha + \beta + 2\times\gamma }{\alpha + \beta } &=& \dfrac{19}{11} \quad &| \quad \alpha + \beta + \gamma = 180^{\circ} \\\\ & & \quad &| \quad \alpha + \beta = 180^{\circ} - \gamma \\\\ \dfrac{180^{\circ} - \gamma + 2\times\gamma }{180^{\circ} - \gamma } &=& \dfrac{19}{11} \\\\ \dfrac{180^{\circ} + \gamma }{180^{\circ} - \gamma } &=& \dfrac{19}{11} \\\\ 11\times(180^{\circ} + \gamma ) &=&19\times(180^{\circ} - \gamma ) \\ 11\times 180^{\circ} + 11\gamma &=&19\times 180^{\circ} - 19\gamma \\ 30\gamma &=&8\times 180^{\circ}\\ \mathbf{\gamma} &\mathbf{=}& \mathbf{48^{\circ}} \\ \end{array}$$

$$\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline \angle A'B'C' = x &=& 180^{\circ} - 2 \times \gamma \\ \angle A'B'C' &=& 180^{\circ} - 2 \times \gamma \\ &=& 180^{\circ} - 2 \times 48^{\circ} \\ &=& 180^{\circ} - 96^{\circ} \\ &=& \mathbf{84^{\circ}} \\ \hline \end{array}$$

$$\text{The angle A'B'C' in degrees is \mathbf{84^{\circ}} }$$

$$\begin{array}{rcll} \dfrac{\alpha+\gamma}{\alpha+\beta} &=& \dfrac{10}{11} \quad & | \quad \alpha+ \beta=180^{\circ}- \gamma = 180^{\circ}-84^{\circ} = 132^{\circ} \\\\ \dfrac{\alpha+48^{\circ} }{132^{\circ}} &=& \dfrac{10}{11} \\\\ \alpha &=& \dfrac{10\times 132^{\circ}}{11} -48^{\circ} \\\\ \mathbf{ \alpha } & \mathbf{=} & \mathbf{72^{\circ}} \\ \end{array}$$

$$\begin{array}{rcll} \alpha+\beta &=& 132^{\circ} \\ \beta &=& 132^{\circ}-\alpha \\ \beta &=& 132^{\circ}-72^{\circ} \\ \mathbf{ \beta } & \mathbf{=} & \mathbf{60^{\circ}} \\ \end{array}$$

$$\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline \angle AHB = \gamma + \beta = 108^{\circ} \\ \angle BHC = \alpha + \gamma = 120^{\circ} \\ \angle CHA = \beta + \alpha = 132^{\circ} \\ \hline \end{array}$$
