Counting Line Segments from Points
To make a line segment, we need to join 2 different points.
If we are given 5 points (say A, B, C, D, E), then we can count how many different line segments we can draw by finding how many different pairs of points we can make.
We use this formula:
Here, n=5
So, we can make 10 line segments.
Example Pairs:
AB, AC, AD, AE, BC, BD, BE, CD, CE, DE
Conclusion:
From 5 points, we can draw 10 different line segments.
