what does the D in "D- Day" stand for?
446625
In English military parlance, D-Day is a term often used to denote the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. Whilst the initial D in D-day is not an abbreviation of anything, it is taken from the word day and represents a variable, designating the day upon which some significant event will or has occurred; see Military designation of days and hours for similar terms.\n\nBy far, the most well known D-Day is June 6, 1944 — the day on which "Operation Overlord" began — commencing the Western Allied effort to liberate mainland Europe from Nazi occupation during World War II. However, many other invasions and operations had a designated D-Day, both before and after Operation Overlord.\n\nThe terms D-day and H-hour are used for the day and hour on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. They designate the day and hour of the operation when the day and hour have not yet been determined, or where secrecy is essential. There is but one D-day and one H-hour for all units participating in a given operation

It's a flower, the poppy. Saturday is Veteran's Day in the United States. In Canada it is called Remembrance Day. It is to honour all the men and women who have fought to protect their countries.

Another way to look at is follows.\n\nThink of d/dx () to mean "differentiate whatever is in the parens with respect to x.  So, for example d/dx (x)=dx/dx=1.   If y=y(x). y'(x)=d/dx (y(x))=dy/dx where the argument of y is omitted for convenience.\n\nSo, d/dx (y')=d/dx (dy/ dx)=(d d y)/(dx dx)=d^2y/dx^2. \n\nThe notation is ambiguous.  One would usually think that the x is being square in the denominator, but "dx" is a single symbol, so in fact, in this context, dx^2=(dx)^2.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\nGood luck. :)

Dord does not actually mean density. For five years, Webster's New International Dictionary listed dord as a word meaning density, but in fact the word did not exist and was simply a mix-up that occurred when abbreviations were moved to a separate part of the dictionary. A copyeditor misread "D or d" as a single word. There is no real word "dord" and it should not be used.

I don't know about u/d/t, but u/t/d stands for "under trust dated."  It's included in the signature block when a trustee (who is the one with legal authority to sign a document on behalf of the trust) signs a document.

The use of the symbol "/" is merely a convention.  In Europe they mean day/month/year, but in the United States they mean month/day/year.  Neither convention is the "right" one.  You just have to learn the language, or give the date in a different way.

The answer depends on whether you mean may day, the 1st. day of May, or Mayday- the distress call.\n\nThe distress call is derived from the French "M'aidez" meaning help me.

The Mayday callsign was originated in 1923 by Frederick Stanley Mockford (1897-1962) [2]. Whilst senior radio officer at Croydon Airport in London, Mockford was asked to think of a word that would indicate distress and would easily be understood by all pilots and ground staff in an emergency. Since much of the traffic at the time was between Croydon and Le Bourget Airport in Paris, he proposed the word "Mayday" from the French m'aider.

Unit designation. Sometimes it points up, with a number inside, or down. Even sideways. At far distances, it is hard to tell if a vehicle is from your own unit, since numerical designation couldn't be seen far enough. Having a huge "V" gives you an idea which unit the vehicle belongs to.\n\nThe design might have come from the US Army's 24th Infantry Div. (Mech.) known as the "Victory" division. They painted "Vs" on the side of the vehicle to symbolize this, even on their helmets. In 1990, they were one of the first to arrive in the Gulf and painted their vehicle tan colored. As tradition, they painted the "V" on the side, but a general, noted the simple yet effective recognition feature of the letter "V". Every branch of the armed forces now utilize the symbol, or an alternative.

see u said  triangle ABC ~ triangle DEF\nthis means dat corresponding sides are proportional\n\ni.e.\n\nAB/DE : BC/EF : AC/DF \n\nREPLACING D VALUES V GET\n\n21/DE : 24/EF: 9/ 12\n\nNOW THS MEANS DAT \n21/DE = 9/ 12\nsolving v get \nDE = 28\n\nsimilarly it also means 24:EF = 9/12\nsolving v get EF = 32\n\ntherefore d perimeter of triangle DEF = 32 + 28 + 12  = 72
