Answer to Problem 31PPS
The age of the given tree is 3.6 years.
Explanation of Solution
Given: The diameter of the tree is 0.8 ft and its growth factor is 4.5.
Concept Used: The age of a tree can be determined by multiplying the diameter of a tree to its growth factor.
Calculations: The age of the tree whose diameter is 0.8ft and has a growth factor 4.5 will be-
Age
Thus, the age of the tree is 3.6 years.
