Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the tree's largest circumference, located near the base of the trunk, measures approximately
\(102.6 feet\)
We are to express this in inches using scientific notation.
First convert this to inches using
\(1' = 12"\\102.6' = 102.6(12)" \\= 1231.2"\)
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
\(1231.2 = 1.2312 (10^3)\)
Thus scientific notation is
\(1.2312 (10^3)\)
