Let ( x ) be the common multiplier for the ratio 5:6:7. Therefore, the measures of the angles are ( 5x ), ( 6x ), and ( 7x ).
Since the angles of a triangle sum up to 180 degrees, we have:
[ 5x + 6x + 7x = 180 ]
[ 18x = 180 ]
[ x = \frac{180}{18} = 10 ]
So, the smallest angle of the triangle is ( 5x = 5 \times 10 = 50 ) degrees.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
