Question
The trunk of a tree has a diameter of 30 cm. During the following year, the circumference grew 6 cm. Approximately how much did the tree diameter grow?

Solution
Diameter of the trunk of the tree
D = 30 cm
Rate of change of circumference
ds = 6 cm per year
Circumference S = πD
dS = πdD
6 = πdD
`6/[i` = dD
Rate of increasing diameter = `6/pi`cm
