Answer: 0.0031 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: CSA = CSA = πD²  / 4  = 0.785 x D²

in which,

CSA = cross-sectional area of the wire, (in²)

D = outside diameter of the wire, (in)

π/4 = 0.785, a constant value

* (3.14 / 4 = 0.785) - this will always be a <em><u>constant value.</u></em>

There are two ways to find the CSA of a wire.

1.         πD² / 4

          3.14(0.0625²) / 4

          First multiply or square the diameter which is 0.0625

          0.0625 x 0.0625 = 0.00390625

          Second multiply 3.14 which is pi times the squared diameter

          3.14 x 0.00390625 = 0.012265625

          Last divide by 4

          0.012265625 / 4 = 0.0030664062 in²

          Round off and you will get 0.0031 in²

2.        0.785 x D²

          whereas, 0.785 is <u><em>always a constant</em></u> of π divided by 4

          0.785 x 0.0625²

          First multiply or square the diameter which is 0.0625

          0.0625 x 0.0625 = 0.00390625

          Last multiply the constant value of 0.785 by the value squared

          0.785 x 0.00390625 = 0.0030664062 in²

          Round off and you will get 0.0031 in²

* Hint - it is easier to remember that the constant value is 0.785

Given that the diameter: d= 0.0625 inch.

So, radius of the wire : r = \frac{0.0625}{2} = 0.03125 inch

Now the formula to find the cross-sectional area of wire ( circle) is:

A = πr²

= 3.14 * (0.03125)² Since, π = 3.14 and r = 0.03125

=3.14 * 0.000976563

= 0.003066406

= 0.00307 (Rounded to 5 decimal places).

Hence, cross-sectional area of a wire is 0.00307 square inches.

Hope this helps you!

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The total number of cookies baked by grandma = 96

Number of grandchildren = 8

As given, all cookies were evenly divided among 8 children, let us assume that everyone except Cindy got equal share. So on being divided equally, it becomes, \frac{96}{8}=12 cookies per children.

But, as mentioned that Cindy received 'c' cookies less, so let us suppose Cindy received 'x' cookies.

Expression becomes: x=12-c

Hence, Cindy received 12-c cookies.

How do I get the answer for #2. What’s the equation to get to the answer please?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

GED=2FED. Multiply by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The page says that the diagram is not to scale, and that EF bisects(cuts in half equally) GED. Don't go by what it looks like, FED and FEG are equal in size. So each one is 1/2 of GED.

Median and mean math questions
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: #7 D) neither set. #6. C) the sum of the data values must be 75. #5. The 6th missing temperature must be 80 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: #7. if you eliminate 3 numbers on each side on set A, then the numbers remaining are 2 and 19. In order to find the median add the two numbers, 19+2 which equals 21. Then divide that number by 2 to find your median, or in other words find the average, 21 divided by 2 is 10.5 which is not 12.5, so that set doesn’t work. In set B eliminate 2 numbers on each side. That will leave you with 10 and 9, then again find the average of the numbers. 10+9=19, and 19 divided by 2= 9.5. So therefore neither of the sets have a median of 12.5

#6. If there are five numbers in the data set and you are finding the average to be 15, then the five values must equal 75. In order to find the average of five numbers you must first add all of your values, and then divide by five, for there are five numbers. If you add all of your numbers up it must total 75, because 75 divided by 5= 15 which is the mean. Any other total would not work.

#5. The median of the original set is 72 degrees. In order to find the missing number you need to do some check and guess. Take the original median and add a number relatively close to the other numbers, for example 75, then add the two numbers together, 72+75=147. Then divide that by two, 147 divided by 2= 73.5 which is not the correct median number, its too low, so experiment with higher numbers and repeat the same process until you find a number that, if added to 72, totaled, and then divided by 2 equals 76.

I really hope this helped :)
