We're on problem 248, truly the home stretch.
Right triangle pqr is to be constructed on the xy plane.
Let me draw an xy plane, that seems like
it should be useful.
So that's x, and y -- I'm sorry, that's y and that's x.
Let me label them since I said them wrong.
y and x, that should be second nature to you at this point.
If you start the xy plane so the right angle is at p, and
pr is parallel to the axis -- so it's going to look
something like that, where that's p and that's r,
parallel to-- and p is the right angle, right, so it's
going to look something like that.
So q has to be right below p.
The x- and y-coordinates of p, q, and r are to be integers
that satisfy the inequality minus 4 is less than or equal
to x, which is less than or equal to 5.
And it tells us that 6 is less than or equal to y, which is
less than or equal to 16.
How many different triangles with these properties could be
constructed?
So let's first draw this range.
So x could be between minus 4 and 5.
And x and y are always going to be integers,
so that's our boundary.
And it could be minus 4 or 5, right?
And then y is between 6 -- let's just say
this is 6 -- and 16.
So let's think about this.
Let's think about where we can place the point.
So first of all, how many different legitimate places
can we put the point p?
Let's just kind of figure out how many different ways we can
construct this thing.
So if we have to pick its x-coordinate, how many
different x-coordinates are valid?
So you have minus 4, minus 3, minus 2, minus 1, 0, 1,
2, 3, 4, and 5.
Right?
They should be -- 5 minus 5, so it should be 9.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 -- oh actually, no, it's 10
different points, because we could include minus 4, right?
So it could be -- x could be minus 4, minus 2, 3 -- right,
this is minus 3, minus 2, minus 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Right?
So this x value can take on any of these 10 spots.
So p can take on 10 different values.
Well, its x-value could take on 10 different values, right?
So p's x can take on 10 different values.
And how many values can its y take over?
Well, this top boundary is 16, this bottom boundary is 6.
And we can be either one, right?
So 16 minus 6 would be 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.
But we can include 6 as well, right?
If you just said 16 minus 6, that would give you 10 spots,
but since we're including 6, the y could take on 11 spots.
You could count them, maybe it'll be beneficial for you to
see all the different y's it could be.
It could be anything between 6 and 16, including 6 and 16.
So there's 11 possibilities for the y.
So that means that there are 110 different possible p's.
Let me just draw one of them.
Let's say that's our p.
So our p is there.
For any given p, how many different
possible r's are there?
Well r is in the same line as p.
So whatever p's y value is, r has to be the same.
But r could be any of the other
leftover x spaces, right?
So if p took up one of them, r could be here, it could be
here, it could be here.
r could be in any of these spots, right?
So how many left over x spots are there?
Well there were 10 x spots, 10 x-coordinates.
p took up one of them.
So now r could only be in one of nine x-coordinates.
Fair enough.
And r is limited to its y.
Once we pick a y coordinate for p, that's got to be the
same coordinate as r, right? r has to be on the same
y-coordinate as p.
Because they told us that this line is
parallel to the x-axis.
Fair enough.
So how many possibilities -- once we've picked a p and an
r, how many different possibilities
do we have for q?
Well q is going to have the same x value, because they
told us that this is a right angle, and so
this has to be q.
So q has to be in the same vertical line as p.
It has to have the same x-value.
And so on how many different y-values can it have?
Well there were a total of -- we said there were originally
11 potential y-values, right?
That's what we said when we picked our p. p could be
anywhere between 6 and 16.
q could be any of those numbers, but it can't be at
the same point as p, right?
This side has to have some length.
So if there were 11 original slots, 11 original y slots, p
takes one of them up.
So then q could be any of one of 10 y slots.
So if we want to know the total number of potential
triangles like this, there are 110 potential places to put p.
Once we've put p, there are nine potential places to put
r, and once we've put p, there's also 10 potential
places to put q.
So this is what, 110 times 90.
That's the same thing as 11 times 9 with two 0's, right?
Which is choice c.
And we're onto our last -- I'm glad this a new video, that
took me six minutes.
Problem 249.
Hopefully it won't take you that long on the GMAT.
It takes less time if you don't have to explain it.
If n is a positive integer less than 200 -- so n is less
than 200, it's positive and it's an intiger -- and 14 over
n -- 14n over 60 is an integer.
So that means that 14n divided by 60 -- or 14 is divisible by
60 then n has how many different prime factors?
Let's simplify this first. Divide the top and
the bottom by 2.
You get -- this is also saying that 7n over 30 is an integer.
Well multiplying by 7 doesn't make it any easier to be
divisible by 30, right?
Because 7 and 30 share no common factors.
14 and 60 did, 2, but we got rid of it.
So we have 17 and 30, so n has to be divisible by 30.
Right? n has to be divisible by 30 for
this to be an integer.
Well, I don't know, let's just pick the smallest one.
I mean, there's a lot of different candidates.
n could be 30, or 60, or 90, or a bunch
of different numbers.
But let's just pick n is equal to 30.
They just say that n is less than 200, so let's just say
that n is equal to 30.
If n is equal to 30, then they say, how many different
positive prime factors?
Well let's just do a prime factorization of 30.
2 times 15, which is 3 times 5.
So it has 3 positive prime factors.
So that's choice b.
I don't know, I'm just curious.
So let's see if that would've worked if we
picked n equals 60.
If you'd have done the prime factorization of 60, you'd
have gotten 2 times 30, which is 2 times 15,
which is 3 times 5.
And yeah, you still have only three factors.
You're using one of them twice.
So this is the same thing as 2 squared times 3 times 5.
So you still have actually three different
positive prime factors.
So it would work for any of the multiples of 30.
Anyway, choice c.
And we're all done.
I don't know what I'm going to do next, maybe I'll do some
LSAT videos, or maybe I'll get back to
actually teaching something.
Anyway, see you in a future play list.
