解析
- [ 3 ] How many ways are there to color the vertices of a triangle red, green, blue, or yellow such that no two vertices have the same color? Rotations and reflections are considered distinct. Answer: 24 There are 4 ways to color the first vertex, then 3 ways to color the second vertex to be distinct from the first, and finally 2 ways to color the third vertex to be distinct from the earlier two vertices. Multiplying gives 24 ways.
