    the angle in ascending order is 24°, 36° and 120°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The largest angle of a triangle is 5 times as large as the smallest angle

    The third angle is 12 degrees more than the smallest angle.

    let the smallest angle be x

    the largest angle is 5x

    the third angle is (12+x)

    the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

    x + 5x + (12+x) = 180

    x+5x + 12+x = 180

    7x+12 = 180

    7x = 180 - 12 = 168

    x = 168/7 = 24°

    the smallest angle is 24°

    the largest angle is 5x = 5 x 24 = 120°

    the third angle is 12 + x = 12+24 = 36°
