Given:

Triangle PQR

∠P is the largest angle and ∠P = 80 degrees

Ratio of the angles is 4:3:2

To find: The smallest angle of triangle PQR

Formula:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

Solution:

Let the measures of the angles of triangle PQR be 4x, 3x, and 2x, where 4x is the largest angle and 2x is the smallest angle.

According to the question:

4x = 80

x = 20

So 2x = 2 × 20 = 40

Therefore, the smallest angle of triangle PQR is 40 degree.
