Answer:

0.84 square in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the capacity of the cable is proportional to its​ cross-sectional area.

Mathematically,

C = k * A

A1 = 0.3 sq

C1 = 2500 lb

C2 = 7000 lb

C1/A1 = C2/A2

2500/0.3 = 7000/C2

= 7000 / 8333.33

= 0.84 square in.

Answer:

0.84 square in

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the capacity of the cable is proportional to its​ cross-sectional area. If a cable that is 0.3 sq in can hold 2500 lb then per square inch it can hold

2500 / 0.3 = 8333.33 lb/in

To old 7000 lb it the cross-sectional area would need to be

7000 / 8333.33 = 0.84 square in

The answer is 290. First calculate the area of the rectangle part on the bottom. area=20*9=180 square yards. Then calculate the area of the triangle on the top. Base length is 20, while the height is 20-9=11, so the area is 20*11/2=110. 180+110=290 square yards in total.

In percentage= 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 300 female employees. There are 80 employees who are under the age of 25

Probabilty of choosing a female employees= 300/400

Probabilty of choosing a female employees= 0.75

Probabilty of choosing an employees under the age of 25

= 80/400

Probabilty of choosing an employees under the age of 25

= 0.2

probability of randomly selecting an employee who is female and under the age of 25= 0.2*0.75

probability of randomly selecting an employee who is female and under the age of 25= 0.15

In percentage= 0.15*100

In percentage= 15%
