Each person was to have 1.5 pounds of turkey, but, with the extra people she would have to buy an additional 4.5 pounds of turkey. If she didn’t buy anymore turkey then everyone would get 1.25 pounds of turkey, which is about 1/6 less of what they would have originally gotten. 1/6 is equal to 16.7% or 0.167.

Answer:

66600 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First draw a rectangle and draw a diagonal line in the middle. The line makes two triangles, and the line itself is the hypotenuse. So, to find hypotenuse, the formula is:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The variable c defines the hypotenuse. Therefore:

a = 150

b = 210

Let's solve:

150^2 + 210^2 = c^2

22500 + 44100 = c^2

66600 = c^2

Therefore, in conclusion, the result we are getting is 66600 ft.

A line passing through the point (7, 6) has a slope of 2.
Masja [62]
An equation in point-slope form is
y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Your point is (7,6) and your slope is 2
y1 is the y coordinate of your point (in this case 6)
x1 is the x coordinate of your point (in this case 7)
m is your slope (in this case 2)

Now you just have to plug these numbers in:
y - 6 = 2 (x - 7)
