What is the total area calculation for two 10/2 NM cables if one cable has an area of 0.2003 in.²?

To find the total area of two 10/2 NM cables, you take the area of one cable and multiply it by the number of cables. In this case, each cable has an area of 0.2003 square inches. Therefore, the calculation is as follows:

Total Area = Area of one cable × Number of cables

Total Area = 0.2003 in.² × 2 = 0.4006 in.²

This gives you a total area of 0.4006 square inches for the two cables combined, confirming that the correct choice reflects this calculation.
