Detailed Solution

Let the interior angles be x and 3x.

We know that the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of interior opposite angles.

⇒ x + 3x = 80°

⇒ 4x = 80°

⇒ x = 20°

So the angles are:

x = 20°

3x = 3 × 20° = 60°

Therefore, the interior opposite angles must have a measure of 20o and 60o.
