Rectangle

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and equal to each other. Also, all the angles of the rectangle are equal to 90°.

Given

A cylindrical container that contains three tennis balls that are 2. 7 inches in diameter is lying on its side and passes through an x-ray scanner that scans from the top only.

As given, the cylinder is lying on its side, thus for the x-ray machine, the side will be the top of the cylinder. therefore, the cylinder will look like a rectangle, like the way it is shown below.

The diameter of 3 balls will be the length of the rectangle while the width will be the diameter of 1 ball.

Hence, the correct option is c, which is A rectangle that is 5.4 in x 16.2 in.
