PART B: Overview
The Metropolitano de Lisboa, Lisbon’s underground railway, has 55 stations.
Ina subway network of stations, every journey consists of a start point and a different end
point, If you consider just two of the stations, call them A and B, then the only two possible
journeys are AB and BA. If you add in a third station, C, there are 6 possible journeys. The
diagram for a fourth station, D, is also shown below. No more than two stations can be
on the same straight line (each station should be directly connected to the others)

f) The Metropolitano de Lisboa, Lisbon's underground railway, has 55 stations.
Verify the general rule you found in question d by: z
i) calculating the number of stations the Metropolitano de Lisboa, Lisbon’s underground
railway has if there are 2970 journeys possible. Show all calculations.
ii) choosing your own example. Show all calculations.
Ei2. When looking at the diagram that includes 4 stations, you will notice that some journeys
are on the outer boundaries of the stations and some journeys are on the interior of the
area covered by the stations.
