A surgical procedure requires choosing among four alternative methodologies. The first can result in five possible outcomes, the second can result in two possible outcomes, and the remaining methodologies can each result in four possible outcomes. What is the total number of outcomes possible

3

step-by-step explanation:

based on context clues you gave i'm assuming the answer would be c.

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
