Answer 1

The age of a tree when the diameter is 11 inches is 80.

What is the age of the tree?

The age of the tree increases by 10 with a 1 inch increase in the diameter of the trunk. This represents a linear increase.

The equation that can be used to represent the age of a tree given its diameter is :

age of the tree when the diameter is 4 inches + [(difference between 11 inches and 4 inches) x rate of change in age)

10 + (10 x 7)  = 80
