Let's analyze the number pattern to answer parts **c** and **d**.

### Given Number Pattern:
```
1
2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9
```

### Identifying the Pattern:
- The first line has 1 number.
- The second line has 3 numbers.
- The third line has 5 numbers.

The pattern increases by 2 numbers in each subsequent line.

### General Formula:
To find out how many numbers are in the nth line, we notice the pattern:
- 1st line: \(1\) number (1 number)
- 2nd line: \(1 + 2 = 3\) numbers
- 3rd line: \(3 + 2 = 5\) numbers
- and so on...

So, for the nth line, the number of elements is given by:  
\[ \text{Number of elements in the nth line} = 2n - 1 \]

### c. What will be the last number in the 9th line?
To find the last number on the 9th line, we need to add up all the numbers in the previous lines and add the elements in the 9th line:

The sum of the first \( n \) odd numbers (which is what we're dealing with here) is \( n^2 \). So, to find the last number on the 9th line:
- The last number on the 9th line will be the sum of the first 9 lines, which is \( 9^2 = 81 \).

So, the last number on the 9th line is **81**.

### d. Write the first and last numbers of the 10th line.
Since the 9th line ends with 81, the first number on the 10th line will be the next number, which is **82**.

To find the last number on the 10th line, we know the 10th line has \(2 \times 10 - 1 = 19\) numbers. Adding 19 to the first number on the 10th line (82):
- The last number on the 10th line = \( 82 + 18 = 100 \).

So, the first number on the 10th line is **82**, and the last number is **100**.

### Summary:
**c.** The last number in the 9th line is **81**.  
**d.** The first and last numbers of the 10th line are **82** and **100**.
