Answer:

After the 8th city is built there will be 28 roads between the cities

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of cities initially on the island = 7 cities

The number of roads between each 2 cities = 1 road

Therefore, we have the number of roads between the 7 cities are;

7 cities taking 2 at a time = ₇C₂

_7C_2 = \dfrac{7!}{(7 - 2)!\cdot 2!} = 21

The initial number of roads between the 7 cities = 21 roads

The number of roads, 'n' there will be after the 8th city is built is therefore;

n = _8C_2 = \dfrac{8!}{(8 - 2)!\cdot 2!} = 28

The number of roads there will be after the 8th city is built, n = 28 roads.

The idea that two line segments can be added together to find the length of the entire segment is called the ________.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Segment addition postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the segment addition postulate, given a line segment defined as AC then a point B is located along AC if and only if the length of the segments  on the line satisfy the relation, AC = AB + BC. Therefore, whereby a line which is defined by two end points, is seen to be the sum of points between the two end points.
