Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'd' represent the diameter of the tree, d>=0.
d/2 is the radius of the tree
C = 582 in is the circumference of the tree
We assume the circumference of the tree is is the circumference of a circle with diameter d.
We use the formula for circumference of a circle with diameter d:
C = 2*(d/2)pi, where pi = 3.14
2(d/2)pi = 582

........
d = 185.26 in
The diameter of the tree is 185.26 inches approximately.
