Explanation / Answer

Use equation,

L = L**T

L = L**(Tf - Ti)

For aluminum,

L = 0.0238cm , L = 8.76cm , Ti = 23 , = 22.2*10^-6

L = L**(Tf - Ti)

0.0238 = 8.76* 22.2*10^-6*(Tf - 23)       => Tf = 145.4 C

For Steel,

L = 0.0238cm , L = 8.76cm , Ti = 23 , = 13.0*10^-6

L = L**(Tf - Ti)

0.0238 = 8.76* 13.0*10^-6*(Tf - 23)       => Tf = 224 C
