Once trees grow to a certain height, the trunks quit growing taller and only grow thicker. The forest rangers want to calculate the diameter of the cross-section of some trees in order to estimate how much they grew in the past year. They measured the circumference of the trees, and one of them was 3 meters. Calculate the diameter of the tree.
C = pi * d
3 = 3.14d
3/3.14 = d
Thanks
You're welcome.
To calculate the diameter of a tree given its circumference, you can use the formula:
Diameter = Circumference / π
where π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
In this case, the circumference of the tree is given as 3 meters. Plugging this value into the formula, we get:
Diameter = 3 meters / 3.14159
To calculate the approximate diameter, divide 3 meters by 3.14159:
Diameter ≈ 0.954 meters
Therefore, the approximate diameter of the tree is 0.954 meters.
