    Solving for the angles, we need to apply and use Law of Cosines:

    Solving for ∠AB, we have

    cos ∠AB = (BC² + CA² - AB²) / 2*BC*CA

    cos∠AB = (9²+17² - 13²) / 2*17*9

    ∠AB = 48.94°

    Solving for ∠BC, we have

    cos ∠BC = (AB² + CA² - BC²) / 2*AB*CA

    cos∠AB = (13²+17² - 9²) / 2*17*13

    ∠BC = 31.47°

    Solving for angle CA, we have:

    ∠CA = 180° - 31.47° - 48.94°

    ∠CA = 99.49°

    The smallest angle is 31.47°.
