As we know the sum of exterior angels of a polygon is 360 degree.
Write the equation 5x+4x+3x=360, solving this equation we get x=30. The supplement of the biggest exterior angle is the smallest interior angle of the triangle. In our case the biggest exterior angle is 5*30=150 degree and the smallest interior angle will be: 180-150=30 degree.
