Tree Radius
math help plzzz?
In How Does Your Orchard Grow?, you were asked to describe aplan for solving the central unit problem based on certain information. That activity led to a search for for formulas for the area and circumference of a circle in terms of its radius.
Now you have those formulas, and you can carry out the plan if you are given the necessary information about the trees. Here are two key facts about the trees in madie and clyde’s orchard.
.The cross-sectional area of a tree trunk increase by 1.5square inches per year.
.Right now, The tree trunks each have a circumference of 2.5inches.
Although you don’t yet know the hideout tree radius, you can begin to solve the unit problem. Your task in this assignment is to answer this question.
How long will it take for the trees to grow to a radius of 1 foot?
well the circumference is 2(radius) so you take the 1.5 and divide by 2 to see what the radius increases each year as well as you divide the trucks current circumference by 2 to find its current radius. then you translate the 1foot into inches and use basic division of your current radius into the 1foot conversion to get the amount of years it would take to reach 1foot.
