c) Tshegofatso draws lines on a rectangular piece of paper according to the following
instructions:
• Each new line needs to cut the previous line.
• No line can pass through the intersection of previous lines.

The diagrams show how the first four lines are drawn. As Tshegofatso draws the lines, he divides
the paper into different parts. He needs to colour each part with a different colour. For example,
after four lines, he needs 11 colours. How many colours will he need after 𝑛 lines?
