You can put this solution on YOUR website! How many angles are formed by 12 distinct rays with a common endpoint?
Do you add up all the possible combinations? Or do you just have the twelve angles?
----------------------
Each pair of rays form an angle.
The number of pairs is 12C2 = (12*11)/(1*2) = 66 angles
