The scale factor is 1/3.

To find this scale factor, choose a set of sides to compare lengths. For example, taking the left sides of the triangles, which is 9 and 3. 9 is 3 times bigger than the triangle on the right, so that gives us the scale factor of 1/3.

Answer: $277.91

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The average of the 2 highest salaried quarters is:

$\dfrac{\$13,500+\$12,775}{2}=\dfrac{\$26,275}{2}=\$3,137.50$

Divide that by 26 (weeks) to find out her average weekly salary:

$\dfrac{\$3,137.50}{26}=\$505.29$

Multiply that by 55% (0.55) to calculate her weekly unemployment benefit:

$\$505.29(0.55)=\$277.908$

Round to the nearest penny --> $277.91

11. Take the logarithm, base X.
a² - ab = 10
Since we are given that b = a - 2, we can substitute for b to get
a² - a(a -2) = 10
a² - a² + 2a = 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
a = 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify, divide by 2

_____
Check: a² = 5² = 25
ab = 5·3 = 15
X^25/X^15 = X^10 . . . . . the answer works
