If 32 teams participate in a standard single elimination tournament, how many games must be played to decide a champion?

======================================================

Explanation:

Count the number of times you divide by two and we have five occurrences of this. So there five rounds overall.

To get the total number of games played, we add up the quotients

16+8+4+2+1 = 31

----------------

Or as a shortcut we can simply subtract off 1 since 1+2+4+...+2^n = 2^(n+1)-1

We can write that rule as

which is equivalent to

v = 1/3 a^2h

step-by-step explanation:

the volume is 1/3 a^2h.

d 25 pi/6

step-by-step explanation:

the diameter is 10 inches

the radius is 1/2 of the diameter or 5 inches

the area of the circle is

a = pi r^2

  = pi 5^2

  = 25 pi

the slice is 60 degrees of the entire circle.

60 degrees out of 360   60/360 = 1/6

the area of the slice is 1/6 of the circle

a slice = 1/6 a circle

a slice = 1/6 * 25 pi
