Taking hypotenuse as 6 and the other two sides as 3 and 3 root 3, we find cos of the smallest angle. It results in root 3 /2 which is cos 30'
A triangle with the angles 3 0 , 6 0 and 9 0 has the ratio 1 : 3 : 2 for the length of its sides
We can scale up the ratio to be 1 : 3 : 2 = 3 : 3 3 : 6 and it satisfies the lengths given in the question
Therefore, the smallest angle in the triangle is 3 0 degrees
It seems like the length given here is quite familiar, since the lengths are in the form of 2 x , x , x 3 , where x is arbitrary positive real values. Therefore, this implies to the smallest angle which is 3 0 degrees.
not bad

It is a right angled triangle. So , assuming the hypotenuse( h ) is always the longest side, we can know that h=6. To find the smallest angle , we must find the arcsin of the shortest side to h , and we found that 3 happens to be the smallest value, which is the hypotenuse. Therefore, arcsin h o = θ , plug in the numbers we get arcsin 6 3 = 0 . 5 2 3 5 9 8 7 8 , which corresponds to 3 0 de g .
