Question

You have a tree in your yard that is 60 inches around. What is the diameter of the tree?

Answer 1

Given : a tree in your yard that is 60 inches around

60 inches represents the circumference of the tree

The circumference =

`\pi\cdot d`

Where d is the diameter of the tree

so,

`\begin{gathered} \pi\cdot d=60 \\ \\ d=(60)/(\pi)\approx19.1 \end{gathered}`

So, the answer is : the diameter of the tree is a bout 19.1 inches
