Solution

In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary. This means that they add up to 180 degrees.

Let's denote the smaller angle as x. According to the problem, the larger angle is 2/3 times larger than the smaller one, so it can be represented as (2/3)x.

Since they are supplementary, we can set up the following equation:

x + (2/3)x = 180

To solve for x, first combine like terms:

(1 + 2/3)x = 180

This simplifies to:

(5/3)x = 180

Next, to isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 5/3, which is the same as multiplying by 3/5:

x = 180 * (3/5)

x = 108

So, the smallest angle of the parallelogram is 108 degrees. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 108o.
