Let the angles of the triangle be (a – d)°, a° and (a + d)°. 

We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. 

⇒ a – d + a + a + d = 180° 

⇒ 3a = 180° 

∴ a = 60° 

Given \(\frac{number\,of\,degrees\,in\,the\,least\,angle}{number\,of\,degrees\,in\,the\,mea\,angle}\) = \(\frac1{120}\)

⇒ 120 – 2d = 1 

⇒ 2d = 119 

∴ d = 59.5 

Hence, angles are: 

⇒ (a – d) ° = 60° – 59.5° = 0.5° 

⇒ a° = 60° 

⇒ (a + d) ° = 60° + 59.5° = 119.5° 

∴ Angles of triangle in radians:
