Asingle card is drawn from a deck. find the probability of selecting

a: a club or a diamond

b: a jack or a black card

A. 1/2.

B. 15/26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note when you have an 'OR' in the statement we add the probabilities.

A .  Club or a diamond . There are 13 clubs and 13 diamonds so

The Required Probability =  13/52 + 13/52

= 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2.

B. There are 4 jacks and 26 black cards.

The Required Probability =   4/52 + 26/52

= 1/13 + 1/2

= 2/26 + 13/26

= 15/26.

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

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
