Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The days of the week include

Sunday

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

a) So, the possible letters to be taught include

A, D, E, F, H, I, M, N, O, R, S, T, U, W, Y

There are indeed 15 possible letters.

These are the letters from which all the days of the week are formed from.

b) There are more than 4 letters that can't be taught using this method.

All the letters that cannot be taught using this method because no day of the week contains them include

B, C, G, J, K, L, P, Q, V, X, Z

c) In Tuesday, there are 7 distinct letters.

So, the sample space consist of 7 letters.

n(sample space) = 7

n(Y) = 1

Probability of picking a Y = (1/7)

The reasoning is simple, picking a Y on a Tuesday is one out of 7 possible outcomes, so, the probability of picking a Y on a Tuesday to teach the kid about = (1/7) = 0.143

Hope this Helps!!!

In this truss bridge, AAOB ABDC. AO=5 meters, BD=10 meters, AB=5 meters. What is the length of BC? A. 5 m B. 8 m C. 10 m D. 15 m
Olenka [21]

Consider \Delta AOB\cong \Delta BDC.

Given:

\Delta AOB\cong \Delta BDC, AO=5\ m,BD=10\ m, AB=5\ m.

To find:

The length of BC.

Solution:

We have,

\Delta AOB\cong \Delta BDC

We know that the corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC).

AB=BC                   (CPCTC)

5\ m=BC

The length of BC is 5 m. Therefore, the correct option is A.
