Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the tree's largest circumference, located near the base of the trunk, measures approximately
[tex]102.6 feet[/tex]
We are to express this in inches using scientific notation.
First convert this to inches using
[tex]1' = 12"\\102.6' = 102.6(12)" \\= 1231.2"[/tex]
Writing in scientific notation a number means using a number between 1 and 10 in the given number and multiply by suitable powers of 10.
For example here, we have answer as 1231.2 inches
We can write as
[tex]1231.2 = 1.2312 (10^3)[/tex]
Thus scientific notation is
[tex]1.2312 (10^3)[/tex]
