Question 185059: Building a ski ramp. Write an inequality in the variable x for the degree measure of the smallest angle of the triangle shown in the figure, given that the degree measure of the smallest angle is at most 30 degrees.
I have no idea how I got the answer but it seems to be x is less than or equal to 30 ... Is this correct? Can someone please explain. I would greatly appreciate your help.
