The answer is B my friend
<h3><em>In AP form 2nd term - 1st term = 3rd term - 2nd term

Answer:
the first answer choice 4/16.
Answer:
6 segments are required to connect each point to every other point.
Step-by-step explanation:
If four points are placed on a circle.Then as we know the segment is a line that join two points.
Now as we are given four points on the circle.
- so we will firstly start with the first point; the first point requires 3 segments to connect to the remaining three points.
- Next second point will just require 2 segments to connect to the two points as it is already connected to the first point.
- similarly third point requires just one segment to connect to the last point as it is already connected to first and second point as done above.
- and hence by the above three steps the fourth point is connected to all the points.
Hence, 6 segments are required to connect each point to every other point.
We already know that the box has an area of 100 sq. inches. All we have to do now is subtract the area of the 4 circles from the area of the box.
The formula for a circle's area is
. We already know the radius, so one circle has an area of 12.56 units (4π in terms of pi). There are 4 circles, making your final equation
.
