Answer:

35 quizzes

Explanation:

We need to determine how many ways we can choose 4 questions out of 7 to make the quizzes.

We do this by using the formula
\displaystyle nCr=(n!)/(r!(n-r)!) which describes the number of ways we can choose
r objects given
n possible choices. So, if
n=7 and
r=4, then:


_4C_7=(7!)/(4!(7-4)!)\\\\_4C_7=(7*6*5*4!)/(4!*3!)\\\\_4C_7=(210)/(6)\\\\_4C_7=35

Hence, the teacher can make 35 different geometry quizzes.
