Imagine that we cut the cone in half with a vertical plane. In this plane we'd see points a, b and c. We need to find the measure of angle bca, and then double that angle, to obtain the answer to this problem.
Note that tan (angle bca) = opp / adj = 2 / 6, or 1/3, or 0.333...
Working backwards to find angle bca, we use the inverse tangent function:
arctan 0.3333.. = approx. 0.322 radians, or 18.435 degrees.
Doubling that gives us the measurement of the angle formed between the line segments: 2(18.435 deg) = 36.9 degrees, approximately.

Answer:
n=4
Step-by-step explanation:
First use distributive property to expand -10(n-2)
-5n-20=-20-10n+20
Simplify
-5n-20=-10n
Combine Like Terms
-20=-5n
Divide both sides by -5 to isolate "n"
n=4
