Value of Boat = $ 175,000

Property Tax = $2,883

To determine tax rate, we can use the formula:

Tax Rate (%) = \frac{Property Tax}{Value of the Boat} × 100

⇒ Tax Rate (%) = \frac{2883}{175000} × 100

⇒ Tax Rate = 1.647428.... %

Rounding off to the nearest hundredth (i.e. till 2 decimal places):

Tax Rate = 1.65% [Since after 1.64 then next digit is 7, which is greater than 5, hence 4 will change to 5 when rounded off]

Hence, the answer is 1.65% tax rate was charged on the boat

Find the length of XY
Pachacha [2.7K]

Since this is a right triangle, you can use the pythagorean theorem, leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2, to find XY. Since we know that 15 and 17 are our legs and that XY is the hypotenuse, we can solve it as such:

15^2+17^2=XY^2\\ 225+289=XY^2\\ 514=XY^2\\ \sqrt{514}=XY

In short, XY is √514, or 22.67 rounded to the hundreths, units long.

Solving equations and Inequalities 1 ) -10p=2(p-12)
MArishka [77]
The answer is 2 = p
Explanation: Here the goal is to get the variable "p" by itself, so first your have to distribute 2 to (p-12) which gives you -10p = 2p-24. Then you add 10p on both sides so that the variable is on one side. Then you add 24 to both sides. After that you divide 12 from both sides, giving you 2 = P

-10P = 2(p-12)
-10p = 2p-24
+10p +10p
0 = 12p-24
+24 +24
24 = 12p
24÷12 = 12p÷12
2 = p

It is impossible to create a square pyramid by rotating a shape about an axis because its base is not ________.
natta225 [31]
It is impossible because it's base is not circular. A solid of revolution is <span>obtained by rotating a </span>plane curve<span> around some </span>straight line, that is, <span>the </span>axis of revolution that lies on the same plane. The closest to a square pyramid applying this concept is by rotating a right triangle around the opposite or adjacent side (the axis), but the shape that you get is a straight circular cone.
