Question

I need help with this

Answer 1

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you the ratio of force to area is the same for all pairs. This means, for example, ...

  3750/250 = 5625/x = y/420

Simplifying, this becomes the two equations ...

  15 = 5625/x   ⇒   x = 5625/15 = 375

  15 = y/420   ⇒   y = 420·15 = 6300

The values of x and y are (x, y) = (375, 6300). . . . . matches choice C
