    For this use cosine law;

    c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2abCosC.

    Label your sides, we'll use

    a = 8

    b = 11

    c = 17

    289 = 64 + 121 - 2 (8) (11) CosC

    289 = 185 - 176CosC

    104 = - 176CosC

    .59 = CosC

    That's just your first angle. For the rest do the same formula, plug in your values and get your answer. You can also use sin law once you have what's already here, however it's good to practice using cosine law.
