How do you calculate the cross section area of electrical cable?

To calculate the cross sectional area (CSA) of a cable, you have to use a micrometer to verify its diameter, then divide the diameter by two to get the radius (r). With the radius we can calculate the CSA of the cable.
CSA = pi x r2 (Applicable to solid wires only).
For example:
If a cable is 0.5 cm in diameter, its radius is 0.25 cm.
CSA = 0.196349541 cm2
You will need to decide to how many decimal places it is appropriate to quote your answer.

How do you calculate the length of a cable if its diameter is 14 mm?
You don't. You can calculate iits radius and cross-sectional area but its diameter has insufficient information to calculate its length
How do you calculate cross sectional area of bar?
It depends on the cross section which may be circular, elliptical, square, rectangular or of a more complex shape.
What is a cross section of a cuboid?
The cross-section of a cuboid is unified in the shape of a square or a rectangle.
How do you find the length of a prism with the cross-section and volume?
length = volume/cross-section
How do you calculate the cross sectional area of cable?

What is the meaning of 35mm when you are talking about electrical cable What does 35mm designates?
It denotes a conductor of 35 square millimetres cross-section.
Why is electrical cable cylindrical?
Because the circle cross-section has the highest area to mass ratio. High area leads to better conductivity and low mass makes cheaper cable.
What does it mean by rm in electrical system?
RM-Conductor of Multiple stranded wires of circular cross section.
How to calculate cable conductor weight?
Basic calculation is: no. of cores x cross-section of one core x 9,6 = copper weight in kg/km e.g. copper weight for cable 4x2,5 = 4 x 2,5 x 9,6 = 96 kg/km This is how cable manufacturers calculate the copper weight. Pls notice that it's valid formula only for cables without screening/shielding. If you know cross-section of screening, you can add that to the formula.
For 100kw which cable size is good and how to find out cable size?
100 kw is the power drawn by the load. to calculate the cable size you need to know the voltage. From that you can calculate the current. this decides the cable size. for example if the voltage is 400Volts then the current flowing in the circuit when the load is 100 KW will be 250 amps. (100,000/400). for 250 amps to flow with out causing excessive heating of the cable the cross sectional area of the copper cable should be 150 sq mm.for a round cross section the diameter will be roughly 15mm.
the area of a cross section of a prism with a cross section which is a regular hexagon is 10.4m^2. the volume of the prism is 8.84m^2. calculate the height of the prism?
just not to confuse you, here is the question more clearer: A prism has a cross section that is a regular hexagon The area of the cross section is 10.4m^2. The volume of the prism is 8.84m^2. Calculate the height of the prism.
