Sales\ tax\ rate=\frac{24.50}{490}*100\\\\Sales\ tax\ rate=\frac{2450}{490}\\\\Sales\ tax\ rate=5\%

The sales tax rate is 5%.

Answer:

B. zero

Step-by-step explanation:

If the temperature is supposed to remain constant over time (the same) when working properly, then this means that there is no increase or decrease over time.

If there were a line to represent this, then it would be a straight line with a slope of 0 because the temperature would remain the same.

The legs of a right triangle are 12 cm and 16 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse? 15 cm 17 cm 20 cm 28 cm
GalinKa [24]
Answer: 20 cm

To solve this, use the Pythagorean Theorem, a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs of the right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
**The Pythagorean Theorem only works for right triangles.**

Substitute in the values.
a² +  b² = c²
12² + 16² = c²

Solve for c, the hypotenuse.
12² + 16² = c²               
144 + 256 = c²
400 = c²
c = √400
c = 20
