The base of an isosceles triangle is 24 in. And the altitude is 5 in. What are the measures of the three triangles of the isosceles triangle?

there is only one way to arrange all the eight relative to each other because they are not distinct. we have

now there are nine places to place an (and not more than one in one place).   because we have four symbols, we need to choose four of these nine places to insert an . order does not matter because the are not distinct.

thus there are 1 · c(9,4) ways, or, if we calculate it,

thus there are 126 ways to form such "words."

it would be 4 over -2 divided by -1 over 3.

if you want a solution it would be 4

you flip it so it would be 4/-2 divided by 3/-1 then it would be 12/3 and you would simplify it to 4
