Problem

How many non-similar triangles have angles whose degree measures are distinct positive integers in arithmetic progression?
Solution
Let , , and be the angles in the triangle. Then Because the sum of the degree measures of two angles of a triangle is less than 180, we have which implies that .

There are triangles with this property.
Final answer
59
