Answer:

19,656

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers used in locker = 3

Total numbers available = 28

Repetition is not allowed, so one number can be used only once. The order of number matters in the locker e.g. 123 password is not the same as 231. Since, the order of numbers matter, this is a problem of permutations. We need to find the number of different sequences formed with 28 numbers taken 3 at a time. This can be represented as 28P3

The formula for permutations is:

^{n}P_{r}=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

For the given case, we will have:

^{28}P_{3}=\frac{28!}{(28-3)!}\\\\ = \frac{28!}{25!}\\\\ = 19656

This means, 19,656 different 3 numbered sequences are possible for the locker.

riangle XYZ is translated 4 units up and 3 units left to yield ΔX'Y'Z'. What is the distance between any two corresponding point
tester [92]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement  Δ XYZ is translated 4 units up and 3 units left to yield ΔX'Y'Z' which means that each point in ΔXYZ is moved 4 units up and moved 3 units left.

To find the distance of each corresponding point we will use the Pythagorean theorem which states that the square of the length of the Pythagorean of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the length of other legs

The square of the required distance = 4^2+3^2 = 16+9 =25

By taking root of 25 we get:

√25 = 5

Thus, we can conclude that the the distance between any two corresponding points on ΔXYZ and ΔX′Y′Z′  is 5 units. ..
