In the early 1970's, Canada Post started using six-character postal codes. Each postal code uses three letters and three digits

in an alternating pattern. How many different Canadian postal codes are possible?

A Canadian postal code looks  like this:

                   K1A 3B1 .

So you have:  letter - digit - letter - digit - letter - digit .

The question doesn't say anything about restrictions on
which letters can be used, or restrictions on repeating letters
or digits within one postal code. So as far as we know, each
letter can be any one of 26, and each digit can be any one of 10.

The total number of possibilities would be

                 (26·10·26)  ·  (10·26·10)  =  17,576,000 .

In the real world, though, (or at least in Canada), Postal codes
don't include the letters D, F, I, O, Q or U, and the first letter
does not use W or Z. When you work it out with these restrictions,
it means there's a theoretical limit of 7.2 million postal codes.
The practical limit is a bit lower, as Canada Post reserves some
codes for special functions, such as for test or promotional purposes. 
One example is the code H0H 0H0 for Santa Claus !  Other special
codes are for sorting mail bound for destinations outside Canada.

At the present time, there are a little over 830,000 active postal codes.
That's about 12% of the total possibilities, so there are still plenty of codes
left for expansion.

Please help find the greatest common factor for these two problems
vekshin1

A greatest common factor is the largest number that goes into two or more numbers (in this case two). To find the GCF of two numbers, we have to find the prime factorization (how to express a number as a product of prime numbers) and then see which numbers are common in both of the prime factorizations.

13. The prime factorization of 8 is 2 * 2 * 2. The prime factorization of 26 is 2 * 13. Looking at the prime factorizations, we can see that both of them have 2. That means that the GCF is 1 * 2 which is 2.

12. The prime factorization of 105 is 3 * 5 * 7. The prime factorization of -30 is -5 * 6. We see that the number shared 5. That means that the GCF is 5 * 1 or 5.

A right-angled triangle has sides of lengths (x+5)cm, (x-3)cm and 9cm. Calculate the value of x
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

x=4.0625 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the two legs.

Not knowing which is the hypotenuse, lets assume that (x+5)cm is the hypotenuse:

(x+5)^2= 9^2+(x-3)^2

(x^2+10x+25)=81+(x^2-6x+9)

x^2+10x+25=81+x^2-6x+9

16x=65

x=4.0625

Checking:

(4.0625+5)^2=9^2+(4.0625-3)^2

82.1289=82.1289
