In the smaller triangle, let
be the length of the smallest leg. Then the smallest leg in the larger triangle is
.
Within the scope of the smaller triangle, we have
such that

Then within the larger the triangle, we would have

Now we can solve for
:


60 because all the negatives would cancel out so all you have to do is multiply the numbers
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Mayelle earns $18000 per year. Mayelle earning is increased by $19500, to calculate the percentage increase in earnings, we divide the difference between earnings after increase and earnings before increase by the earnings before increase and then multiply the result by 100. The percentage increase is given by:
Increase in pay = (Earnings before increase - earnings after increase) / Earnings before increase × 100%
Increase in pay = ($19500 - $18000)/ $18000 × 100% = 8.3 %
