Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they lie on the same line, it means that they are collinear.

Since they are collinear, the value of the slope between each 2 point is the same. Hence, we can have points PQR with the slopes PQ, PR and QR being the same.

The general formula for finding the slope of a line with 2 end points is :

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

using the first two points,

m = (0 - 9)/-1 -2 = -9/-3 = 3

Now to get the value of n. We can use the second point and the point containing n.

This means:

3 = (21 - 0)/(n + 1)

3 = 21/n + 1

3n + 3 = 21

3n = 18

n = 6

Identify the vertical cross section of the cylinder.
Sati [7]

Answer:

Rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

if you split the shape in half vertically you won't get a circle, oval, and triangle isn't even anywhere in that picture.

so using the process of elimination it would have to be the first option. Rectangle.

Area of a rectangular field is 2c^3-c^2+6 square units. If the length of the field is c-2 units, what is its width ?
Tema [17]
If you just factor the original polynomial(The area) then you will find that one of the factors is c-2(the length) and the other will be the width.
When I factored it, I got 2c+3 as the width.
