Please help this is my last question. A figure is located at (2, 0), (2, −2), (6, −2), and (6, 0) on a coordinate plane. What kind of 3-D shape would be created if the figure was rotated around the x-axis? Provide an explanation and proof of your answer to receive full credit. Include the dimensions of the 3-D shape in your explanation.
I know it will form a cylinder I just don't know how to explain its gonna be a cylinder

Late response, but you could talk about how the vertical segments, when rotated around the x-axis, form the circular bases of the cylinder. The horizontal segments form the height of the cylinder. Also be sure to mention the radius and height of the cylinder. (the radius is the length of each vertical segment and the height is the length of the horizontal segments)
