triangle angles in a ratio

what happens if you divide the 180 degrees in a triangle in the ratio of three consecutive integers?

the outcomes all have a (fairly obvious) common property

what is it
and why?

considerations could extend to any three consecutive terms in an arithmetical sequence
e.g. ratio 5 : 8 : 11
