How Many Lines Can Draw In A Decahexagon?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    An equally non-specific question was asked here some time ago.

    A decahexagon has 16 sides, thus 16 vertices. Those vertices can be connected with 16*15/2 = 8*15 = 120 line segments, assuming no three vertices lie on a line. Of those line segments, 16 will coincide with the outline of the decahexagon, so there can be 120-16 = 104 line segments interior to the figure and connecting the vertices, assuming the figure is convex.

    If that isn't what you wanted to know, you will have to be more specific. You can draw lines in a decahexagon until you run out of things to draw lines with, if that's what you want.
