    Solving for C: Different Ways to Label Vertices of a Rectangle

    ^^ I actually just got it myself . If we think geometrically like for clockwise u can have 4 choices for labeling the first vertex then for the next 3 vertexes u can only have one choice for each . Therefore it's 4 for a , 8 for b and for c . I have 4 choices for vertex A , 3 for vertex B and 2...

    Solving for C: Different Ways to Label Vertices of a Rectangle

    I can see it quite easily in my mind but like the theory to get it seems quite complex . According to the concept of the product of principle . So there are 4 ways to label A , either is B,C,R . Then isn't it supposed to be 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 ?
