Given:

Angles of a pentagon are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 6 : 7 : 10.

Sum of interior angles of a pentagon = 540º.

Formula Used:

Sum of angles in a polygon = (n - 2) × 180, where n is the number of sides.

Individual angle = (Ratio of angle / Total ratio) × Sum of angles.

Calculation:

Total ratio = 1 + 3 + 6 + 7 + 10 = 27.

Smallest angle corresponds to ratio 1.

Smallest angle = (1 / 27) × 540.

⇒ Smallest angle = 540 / 27.

⇒ Smallest angle = 20º.

The smallest angle is 20º.
