If there are six straight lines and none are parallel to any other what is the maximum number of intersections there could be?

There can be a maximum of 15 intersections. With two non-parallel lines, there will be one intersection, a third (non-parallel) line can be drawn to cut the other two, and that makes 2 more intersections for a total of 3. You can actually draw this out, and with a fourth, fifth and sixth line, you will create a maximum of 3, 4 and 5 more intersections (respectively), and this will bring your total to fifteentotal intersections for the six lines. You can get each successive line to cut all of the other existing lines if you draw them in a prejudicial (maximized) way.

What is the definition of maximum in regards to math?
The definition of maximum in regards of math is the biggest number in the set of numbers / data.Example:If you have the numbers 10,5,8,2,60,9,3,and 1 the maximum in this set of numbers/data is 60. How? It is 60 because in the set of numbers/data it is the highest number in the set.The word maximum in maths means the most or limit.

What is the probability of winning a straight bet in roulette?
In American Roulette, with 36 numbers, Zero, and Double Zero, the odds of winning a straight bet (a single number) is 1 in 38, or about 0.02632. The payoff, however, is only 35 to 1. In European Roulette, with 36 numbers and Zero, the odds of winning a straight bet is 1 in 37, or about 0.02703.

Since there is no requirement for the line to be straight, the answer is infinitely many. Otherwise, 4.

How may number of intersections are there on 3 hexagons?
there are 5
How many intersects are there for 4 lines?
Maximum 12 intersections are there! You can simply use the formula: No. of intersections = n(n-1)/2 [where 'n' is the number of lines] This is derived as each new line can intersect (at most) all the previously drawn lines. There if there is: 1 line => 0 intersections 2 lines => 1 intersection 3 lines => 3 intersections [1 that was there + 2 by the new line can intersect both the previous lines.] 4 lines => 6 intersections [3 that were already there + 3 because the new line can intersect all the 3 lines that were present previously.]

Can four lines have seven intersection points?
No. In plane geometry, two lines can intersect at at most one point. This means that for n points, the maximum number of intersections is limited by the number of pairs of lines. For lines a,b,c,d, there are six pairs: (a,b), (a,c), (a,d), (b,c), (b,d), (c,d). So four lines can have at most six intersections.
