Answer: True

Explanation: The second measurement required when calculating for scaling is the length of the log. But because most trees are not cut down to have perfectly level ends, the measurement of the length of a cut tree should be taken at the tree’s shortest point. This will ensure that you do not overestimate the amount of wood that is available—wouldn’t want to end up short by measuring the length at the tree’s longest point!
