Instead of using the distributive property to expand 0.25 x (16.60a + 12.20y) could you have first found the sum 16.60a +12.20y explain

Distributive property is the same as product of sum

So

0.25 (16.6 a + 12.2 y) = 0.25 × 16.6a + 0.25 × 12.2y = 0.25 [16.6 a + 12.2 y]

b. an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the figure of two circles having a triangle inside.

now, we know that,

"when a figure is lying inside an another figure, then the outside figure is known as circumscribed figure and the figure lying inside is referred to as the inscribed figure".

as we see that, the circles are containing the triangle completely.

thus, the circles are the circumscribed figures and the triangle is the inscribed figure.

hence, we get, 'an equilateral triangle is inscribed in a circle'.
