Solve the problem.How many line segments are determined by joining the dots on the last two circles?3 segments6 segments segments segmentsLook for a pattern. How many line segments are determined by joining n dots on a circle? How many line segments are determined by joining 14 dots on a circle?

What will be an ideal response?


5 dots: 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10 segments
7 dots: 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21 segments
n dots :   segments
14 dots: 91 segments
