How many line segments can be drawn by joining the given points?
A B C D


Answer:

6

Step by Step Explanation:
  1. Let us join the given points. On joining point A with point B, point C and point D, we get the following figure:
    A BC D
  2. Now, we notice that we can form more line segments by joining point B with point C and point D.
    A BC D
  3. Now, we notice that we can form another line segment by joining the points B and C.
    A BC D
  4. Since, we cannot draw any more line segments, we can conclude that only 6 line segments can be drawn by joining the given points.
