The sides of the triangle are 5, 12, 13.

In the above diagram the smallest angle is Ѳ.

In a triangle ABC, smallest angle is ∠B = SinB = opposite side/ hypotenuse

                                                                                     = 5/13.

Therefore the sine of smallest angle is 5/13.
