So, let's start off with what you know. 
You know that <span>the perimiter of the triangle is 42 yards.
You know that the first side is 5 yards less than the second.
You know that the third side is 2 yards less than the first.
So, we can make the second side x.
We come up with something like this : 

Second Side : x
First Side : x-5
Third Side : x-7

Now we make an equation.

x+x+x-5-7 = 42
3x-12 = 42
    +12    +12
3x      =  54
     3x = 54
       x = 18
So the second side is 18 yards.
Then we can find the First side.
First side is 13 yards.
Then the third side.
The Third side is 11 yards.
So the lengths are : 

First Side : 13 Yards
Second Side : 18 Yards
Third Side : 11 Yards.

I hope I was able to help!</span>

You want to multiply together the number of possible choices for each digit in the code.

0-9 is ten possible numbers, since repetitions are allowed (example code 2,2,2,2) there are ten possible choices per digit in the code.

10*10*10*10 = 10,000 four digit coded possible
