Georgina has 1 metre of pink ribbon. She wants to wrap it around a tree trunk with a diameter of 32 cm. Will she be able to wrap the ribbon around the tree trunk? Explain your answer.

Comparing the length of the pink ribbon to the size of the tree trunk, Georgina will not be able to wrap the ribbon around the tree trunk.

A tree trunk has the shape of a circle. The first step is to determine the circumference of the tree trunk using the formula for the circumference of a circle.

Circumference of a circle = πD

π= pi = 22/7

D = diameter = 32 cm

22/7 x 32 = 100.57 cm.

The second step is to compare the length of the ribbon with the circumference of the tree trunk. In order to do this, convert the length of the pink ribbon to cm.

100 cm = 1 metre

The circumference of the trunk is greater than the length of the ribbon. So, the ribbon would not go round the tree trunk.
