In the NBA, 8 teams from each conference (East and West) make the playoffs. There are 30 total teams in the NBA. What fraction of NBA teams make the playoffs? What percentage of NBA teams make the playoffs? (0.5 points)

The equivalent expression after factoring 20a + 28b = ( a + 7b) using the distributive property is 19a + 21b = 0.

According to the distributive property, an expression in the form A (B + C) can be solved as A (B + C) = AB + AC. This distributive law applies to subtraction as well and is written as A (B - C) = AB - AC. This means that operand A is shared by the other two operands.

The given equation is  20a + 28b = ( a + 7b).

20a + 28b = ( a + 7b).
Now, subtract both sides by a.
20a - a + 28b = a + 7b - a.

19a + 28b = 7b.
Now, subtracting both sides by 7b.
19a + 28b - 7b = 7b - 7b.
19a + 21b = 0.
Therefore, the equivalent expression to  20a + 28b = ( a + 7b) is 19a + 21b = 0.

Answer:

70 degrees = a

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle= 180 degrees.

Therefore, since a and the unmarked angle are congruent since it is an isosceles triangle, we subtract 40 from 180, with a result of 140. With 140, we divide by 2 to find the degrees for both the unmarked angle and angle a, since they are congruent. 140/2 = 70, Angle A will equal to 70 degrees

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+3=38 subtract the 3 from the 38 leaving you with 35/5 getting you 7

The value of x in the given parallelogram is 7.

A quadrilateral is a closed shape and a type of polygon that has four sides, four vertices and four angles

A parallelogram is a special type of quadrilateral that has both pairs of opposite sides parallel and equal.

So 5x+3=38

We need to find the value of x

Subtract 3 from both sides

5x=38-3

5x=35

Five times of x equal to thirty five

Divide both sides by 5

x=7

Hence, the value of x in the given parallelogram is 7.

Answer:

118

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area is the area of the large rectangle in the middle plus the areas of the two triangles.

The length of the entire rectangle is 5 cm + 5 cm + 4 cm = 14 cm.

The width of the rectangle is 7 cm.

Each triangle has a base of 4 cm and a height of 5 cm.

A = LW + 2 × (1/2)bh

A = (14 cm)(7 cm) + (4 cm)(5 cm)

A = 98 cm² + 20 cm²

A = 118 cm²

The expression cos⁴ θ in terms of the first power of cosine is [ 3 + 2cos 2θ + cos 4θ]/8.

The power-reducing formula, for cosine, is,

cos² θ = (1/2)[1 + cos 2θ].

In the question, we are asked to use the formulas for lowering powers to rewrite the expression in terms of the first power of cosine cos⁴ θ.

We can do it as follows:

cos⁴ θ

= (cos² θ)²

= {(1/2)[1 + cos 2θ]}²

= (1/4)[1 + cos 2θ]²

= (1/4)(1 + 2cos 2θ + cos² 2θ] {Using (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²}

= 1/4 + (1/2)cos 2θ + (1/4)(cos ² 2θ)

= 1/4 + (1/2)cos 2θ + (1/4)(1/2)[1 + cos 4θ]

= 1/4 + cos 2θ/4 + 1/8 + cos 4θ/8

= 3/8 + cos 2θ/4 + cos 4θ/8

= [ 3 + 2cos 2θ + cos 4θ]/8.

Thus, the expression cos⁴ θ in terms of the first power of cosine is [ 3 + 2cos 2θ + cos 4θ]/8.

The recursive formula can be used to determine the total amount of time spent making hats based on the total amount of time spent previously is f(n + 1) = f(n) + 0.75

The general recursive function is expressed as:

an+1 = d + an

where

r is the common difference

Given the sequence below

1.5, 2.25, 3.0, 3.75, ...

Common difference =  2.25 - 1.5 = 0.75

Substitute

f(n + 1) = f(n) + d

f(n + 1) = f(n) + 0.75

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle is 15*20=300

Area of the triangle is 8*17/2=68

Total area is 300+68=368

Perimeter is 15+20+20+8+17=80

Answer:

[tex]\rm {P = 80 \space\ feet,\space\ A = 360 \space\ square \space\ feet}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a shape is the sum of all the sides of the shape.

• Perimeter of the polygon = 15 + 20 + 17 + 8 + 20

                                            = 80 feet

To find the area of the polygon, we can separately find the areas of the triangle and the rectangle and then add them together.

• Area of rectangle = length × breadth

                                = 15 × 20

                                = 300 square feet

• Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × base × height

As the height of the triangle is not provided, we have to calculate it.
Let the height of triangle = [tex]x[/tex]

Using Pythagoras's theorem:
[tex]x^2 + 8^2 = 17^2[/tex]

⇒  [tex]x^2 = 17^2 - 8^2[/tex]

⇒  [tex]x = \sqrt{17^2 - 8^2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x=\bf15[/tex]

Now using this value of height, we can find the area of the triangle:

Area of triangle =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  × 8 × 15

                          = 60 square feet

• Finally, we can add the areas of the triangle and rectangle together to find the area of the polygon:

Area of polygon = 300 + 60

                           = 360 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a circle is given by

( x-h)^2 + ( y-k) ^2 = r^2  where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

( x-3) ^2 + ( y-1) ^2 = 2^2

( x-3) ^2 + ( y-1) ^2 = 4

The measure of angle D in the inscribed triangle is as follows;

∠D = 63 degrees

The circle theorem can be use to find the ∠D as follows;

The triangle BCD is inscribed in the circle.

Using circle theorem,

The angle of each triangle is double the angle of the arc it create.

Therefore,

arc BC = m∠D

m∠B = 134 / 2 = 67 degrees.

Therefore, using sum of angles in a triangle.

67 + 50 + m∠D = 180

m∠D = 180 - 50 - 67

m∠D = 63 degrees.
