The expression for the number of segments drawn out of the n number of points in the circle is,
n² / 2 - n / 2
Substituting directly to the expression the number of points, n, which is equal to 8,
8² / 2 - 8 / 2 = 28
Thus, there are 28 segments that can be drawn from the points.
Answer:
7.5 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimensions of the large ∆:


Dimensions of the small ∆:


Difference between the area of the large and the small ∆ = 13.5 - 6 = 7.5 cm²
So to answer you just have to substitute all the given choices into the formula and see which come out true.
