The answer depends on whether the n points are on a line and you are interested in linear segments or whether they are on the circumference of a circle and you are interested in the number of segments that the circle is partitioned into. Or, of course, any other shape.

How many segments are formed by n x number of collinear points?

For ( n ) collinear points, the number of line segments that can be formed is given by the combination formula ( \binom{n}{2} ), which represents the number of ways to choose 2 points from ( n ) points. This simplifies to ( \frac{n(n-1)}{2} ). Therefore, the total number of segments formed by ( n ) collinear points is ( \frac{n(n-1)}{2} ).


How do you determine the number of segments that can be drawn connecting each pair of points?

If there are n points then the maximum number of lines possible is n*(n-1)/2 and that maximum is attained of no three points are collinear.

There are 7 points on a circle how many line segments can be drawn joining the points?

Use the formula n(n-1)/2 --> 7(7-1)/2 = 7(6)/2 = 42/2 = 21.


How many straight lines can be drawn using 8 non collinear points?

From 8 non-collinear points, the number of straight lines that can be drawn is determined by choosing any two points to form a line. This can be calculated using the combination formula ( \binom{n}{r} ), where ( n ) is the total number of points and ( r ) is the number of points to choose. For 8 points, the calculation is ( \binom{8}{2} = \frac{8 \times 7}{2 \times 1} = 28 ). Therefore, 28 straight lines can be drawn using 8 non-collinear points.


How do you find the number of rays given the number of point?

The answer depends on whether any of the points are collinear: that is, whether they lie on the same line. No matter how many points you have, if they are all collinear you will have only one ray.If you have N points, the maximum number of rays is attained when no three of them are collinear. This number is N*(N-1)/2.


How many triangles in 11-30 sided polygons?

Number of triangles in a polygon is determined by (n-2) = number of triangles, whereas n is the number of sides of the polygon


What are corresponding point of a diffraction grating?

Corresponding points are the successive points in adjacent slits which are separated by a distance of grating element. Grating element is the combined width of a ruling and slit in the grating. Denoted by symbol 'e'. e = 1/N N - number of slits or number of rulings or number of grating elements per unit length.


Why is 23 a odd number?

Because it isn't divisible by 2. Or..Because it's not even. An even number has 2 as one of it's factors (same as divisible by 2), or you could say that an even number can be determined by 2*n, where n is a positive integer, while an odd number can be determined by 2*n - 1, where in is a positive integer. Even (2*n) ---> 2,4,6,8,10,12,.....
