Can you place 10 coins in such a way that the lie in 5 straight lines and on each line there are 4 coins?

Yes - arrange them in the shape of a 5-pointed star. One coin goes at each point of the star, and one coin goes at the intersection of each line - making 10 coins in all. There are four coins in each line.

How do you divide sixteen Greek Goats with six straight lines as Euclid did?
The sixteen goats will be divided into six straight lines by some of the lines intersecting with each other. This is done by drawing three lines separating four columns, then three more lines to separate the rows.
Lines with one point in common?
Two lines with one point in common are said to intersect at that point. Any two straight lines with infinite length will eventually intersect each other, unless they are parallel to each other.
How can you place 15 coins inside six rectangles such that there are odd numbers of coins inside each rectangle?
Not if the rectangles are non-overlapping.
How canwe fit 10 balls in 5 lines so that each line has 4 balls?
Draw a star. Place one ball at each point. Place one ball at each line intersection. You will now have 5 lines, each has 4 balls, total of 10 balls.
What are lines that have one point in common?
Lines that have one point in common are said to intersect one another at that point. Almost all straight lines of infinite length intersect one another, unless they are parallel to each other.
How to arrange nine coins in eight straight lines such that in each straight line there should be three coins?
draw 9 lines and join them
Can you place 10 coins in such a way that they lie in 5 straight lines and on each line there are 4 coins?
Yes. This is a neat trick too! Just draw the shape of a five pointed star. Place one coin at each of the 5 points and 5 at each intersection in the inner pentagon. There are 4 coins in each line. I hope you can see the illustration below. The dashes were the only way to maintain the spacing of the 'coins'. -------------O--------------- ---------------------------- ---------------------------- O-------O------O-------O--- ---------------------------- -------O----------O--------- ----------------------------- -------------O--------------- ------------------------------ ----O----------------O------
How can you plant 10 trees in 5 straight lines so that there are 4 trees in each line?
Impossible. If there MUST be 5 straight lines, then there can only be 2 trees in each line. This gives 5 straight lines with 2 trees each (or 2 straight lines with 5 trees each) ** ** ** ** **
What do you call straight lines that intersect each other?
Perpendicular lines.
What are Lines that cross each other?
intersecting lines...
You have 9 coins in 8 lines in which each line having 3 coins?
it is really easy
What is the definition of parallel lines?
Two straight lines that are equidistance from each other.
What are parelell lines?
Parallel lines are 2 long straight lines that don't touch each other
Can nine straight lines can be drawn from nine collinear points?
Yes. You can draw infinitely many straight lines from each point.
Are line segments parallel with each other?
it depends on how you place it, they can be. all a line segment is is a straight line, if you have two you can have parallel or crossing lines.
What are two straight lines that cross each other at a right angle?
Perpendicular Lines are two straight lines that intersect to form a 90 degrees or an right angle.Regards,
Perpendicular lines look like?
They are straight lines that intersect each other at 90 degrees
