There is more wood in a 60-foot-high tree trunk with a radius of 2.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the right circular cylinder

- It has two circular bases

- The volume of it = Area of the base × its height

- The area of the base = πr²

- The quantity of wood in the tree is the volume of the cylinder

* Lets calculate the volumes the two trees and compare

 between them

- Volume of the first tree:

∵ Its radius = 2.1 feet

∴ The area of its base = π(2.1)² = 4.41π feet²

∵ Its height = 70 feet

∴ Its volume = 4.41π × 70 = 308.7π = 969.8 feet³

- Volume of the second tree:

∵ Its radius = 2.4 feet

∴ The area of its base = π(2.4)² = 5.76π feet²

∵ Its height = 60 feet

∴ Its volume = 5.76π × 60 = 345.6π = 1085.7 feet³

∵ 1085.7 > 969.8

∴ The volume of wood in 2nd tree > the volume of wood in 1st tree

* There is more wood in a 60-foot-high tree trunk with a radius of 2.4 feet
