What is the greatest number of points of intersection that can occur when 2 different circles and 2 different straight lines are drawn on the same piece of paper?
What is the greatest number of points of intersection that can occur when
2 different circles and 2 different straight lines are drawn on the same piece of paper?
Let n the number of circles Let m the number of straight lines
n=2m=212⋅m(m−1)+n(2m+n−1)=12⋅2(2−1)+2(2⋅2+2−1)=1+2⋅5=11
The greatest number of points of intersection is 11
