Multiple Choice

A $3.00 \mathrm{~cm} \times 5.00 \mathrm{~cm}$ rectangular piece of copper is at a temperature of $10.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ . The coefficient of linearexpansion of copper is $17.0 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ . If the temperature of the copper rectangle increases by $2.00^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ , thenwhat is its change in area?

B) $0.550 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
C) $2.44 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
D) $1.95 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
E) $0.830 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
