tires are broader.
c. Camels can walk easily in desserts but humans cannot.
d. In a flight, the human ear pain during take-off and landing.
e. A suction cup does not stick on a rough surface.

a. lower surface area, less resistence

b. more surface area, the load is split so no single tire overstrained

c. more surface area, more resistance against the sand. human steps sink down in the sand.

d. rapid change in air pressure on eardrums lead to somewhat-painful tension

e. air would always find its way in so no pressure difference can be achieved

emily ruth's annual premium is $1058.50

step-by-step explanation:

emily ruth is a female of 27 years age purchasing 20 year endowment insurance with face value $25000.

from the given table,

for females, the age of a male 3 years younger should be used.

so, we have to check for 24 year male for 20 year endowment.

it is 42.34 for every $1000 face value.

for a face value of $25000,

it is 25 * 42.34 = $1058.50

∴ emily ruth's annual premium is $1058.50
