Largest angle: 100^@

Explanation:

If the measure of the smallest angle is a
then the other two angles (given the 1:3:5 ratio)
would be 3a and 5a

We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180^@
So
color(white)("XXX")a+3a+5a=180^@
rArr
color(white)("XXX")9a=180^@

color(white)("XXX")a=20^@

Since the largest angle is 5a
the largest angle is 5xx20^@=100^@
