The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr² where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))². If the diameter of the logo increases by 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 4 and 12 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{5 x 3}{4 x 3} \) + \( \frac{8 x 1}{12 x 1} \)

\( \frac{15}{12} \) + \( \frac{8}{12} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{15 + 8}{12} \) = \( \frac{23}{12} \) = 1\(\frac{11}{12}\)

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.
