⇒Number of Points in the Plane = n

→There are two Possibility

Either All Points are Collinear, that is Lie Along a Line.

Or, They are, Non- Collinear.

To Determine a segment we need two distinct points.

If All "n" Points are Collinear,Distinct Number of Segment=1

If there are two points in plane, number of Distinct Segment

          =_{2}^{2}\textrm{C}\\\\=\frac{2!}{(2-2)! \times 2!}\\\\=1

If there are three points in plane, number of Distinct Segment

          =_{2}^{3}\textrm{C}\\\\=\frac{3!}{(3-2)! \times 2!}\\\\=3

If there are Four points in plane, number of Distinct Segment

          =_{2}^{4}\textrm{C}\\\\=\frac{4!}{(4-2)! \times 2!}\\\\=6

............................................................................................

..................................................................................

⇒So,If Points are Not Collinear,that is there are "n" points in the plane, then Distinct number of Segment

                           =_{2}^{n}\textrm{C}\\\\=\frac{n!}{2!\times (n-2)!}\\\\=\frac{n \times(n-1)}{2}

Let n = the number of points
(x-1) + ... (x-x)

The last term will always be 0, when you reach that, stop.

ex. 1pt: 1-1=0
      2pt: (2-1) + (2-2) = 1
      3pt: (3-1) + (3-2) + (3-3) = 3

The circumference of a circle is 604 cm. What is the diameter of the circle?
Marta_Voda [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Circumference is:

c = 2\pi \: r

Radius r is:

r =  \frac{d}{2}

So,

c = \pi \: d \\ d =  \frac{c}{\pi}  \\ d =  \frac{604}{\pi} \:  cm
