17x + 16x + 12x =180
45x = 180
x = 4
Largest angle = 17*4 = 68 degrees

Answer: [tex]68^{\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the ratio of the all three angles is 17 : 16 : 12

Let the measurements of the angles are, 17 x, 16 x and  12 x

Where x is any positive number.

Since, the sum of all three angles is 180°

Therefore, [tex]17 x + 16 x + 12 x = 180^{\circ}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]45 x = 180[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x = 4[/tex]

Thus, the measurement of the largest number = 17 x = 17 × 4 = 68°
