10 points lie on the circumference of a circle. How many inscribed quadrilaterals can be drawn using these points as vertices? I'll give medals for sure:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does anyone have an idea?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I not sure but I feel this is something involving factorials. You have 10 points and you choose different ways to connect four. Same as having ten chairs and 4 students. Then figuring out how many ways you can arrange the students in the ten chairs.

I like your approach!!!

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, you need to choose 4 points to make a quadrilateral, out of 10 given points, so number of way(quadrilaterals) will be just 10 choose 4 .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, I'm not sure how to do 10C4

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge ^nC_r = \dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\) n=10, r=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, wait a second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, that would be:
