Answer:
To estimate the age of a living
free, following steps are required
(i) Measure the circumference of the
tree trunk (at about 4.5 feet above the ground).
(ii) Calculate the diameter of
the trunk. This is done by dividing the circumference by 3.14.
Divide this (i.e., diameter) by
2 to get the radius.
(iii) Determine the growth
factor. A tree's growth factor is the measurement of the width it gains
annually the trees's growth factor can be seen from the data available or by measuring
the rings of a dead tree from the same species.
(iv) Multiply the diameter and
the tree species average growth factor and the so done calculating suggest the
approximate age of the tree in years.
