    Let x represent the smallest angle. Then the largest is 3x, and the remaining angle is 180-4x. The problem statement tells us

    ... 3x > 180 - 4x > x

    Adding 4x gives us

    ... 7x > 180 > 5x

    or

    ... 36 > x > 180/7 = 25 5/7

    The angles, smallest to largest, are

    ... x, 4 (45 - x), 3x

    where 25 5/7 < x < 36

    The angles could be, for example, any of ...

    ... 26°, 76°, 78°

    ... 30°, 60°, 90°

    ... 32°, 52°, 96°

    ... 35°, 40°, 105°

    and an infinite number of other possibilities.
