The ratio of the measures of the angles can be expressed as 8x:4x:6x, where x is a positive number.
The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
So, 8x + 4x + 6x = 180.
Combining like terms, we have 18x = 180.
Dividing both sides by 18, we get x = 10.
Therefore, the measures of the angles are 8x = 80 degrees, 4x = 40 degrees, and 6x = 60 degrees.
The smallest angle is 40 degrees.
A triangular playground has angles with measures in the ration 8:4:6. What is the measure of the smallest angle?
