Let ∠A = x°, ∠B = \(\frac{2x^\circ}{3}\)

Since the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°,

∠A + ∠B = 180°

x° + \(\frac{2x^\circ}{3}\) = 180°

\(\frac{5x^\circ}{3}\) = 180°

\(5x^\circ\) = 540°

x° = 108° 

∠A = 108° 

∠B = 72° 

Also, ∠B + ∠C = 180° [Since, ∠B and ∠C are adjacent angles] 

72° + ∠C = 180° 

∠C = (180° - 72°) = 108° 

Further, ∠C + ∠D = 180° [Since, ∠C and ∠D are adjacent angles] 

108° + ∠D = 180° 

∠D = (180° - 108°) = 72° 

Therefore, smallest angle of the parallelogram is 72°.
