Answer:

There are 364 ways of filling the offices.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the order of filling of the offices does not matter, so, we can figure out the different ways of filling the offices by using the combination formula:

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

where n=14 (number of members)

r=3 number of offices

n!=n·(n-1)·(n-2)·...·3·2·1

C^{14} _{3}=\frac{14!}{(14-3)!3!}=\frac{14*13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{(11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1)*(3*2*1)}=\frac{14*13*12}{3*2*1} =364

Could 10.6 cm and 5.6 and 4.0 cm be the side length of a triangle
Lady bird [3.3K]
No, because the sum of any of the sides must be greater than all sides. 5.6 +4.0=9.6 which is less than 10.6, meaning that it is impossible to create a triangle with those lengths.
