Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(5a + 18) + (48 - a) + (8a - 30) = 180 (Angles on a straight line)
5a + 18 + 48 - a + 8a - 30 = 180
12a + 36 = 180
12a = 180 - 36
a = 144/12
a = 12
therefore, the first angle is, 78 degree, second angle is 36 degree and third angle is 66 degree.
Therefore, the size of the smallest angle is 36 degree
