Do you have any particularly large trees in your community? How do these trees compare with the giant sequoia trees in California? The National Register of Big Trees has a formula that can be used to compare the sizes of trees of the same species. For the chapter project, you will measure a tree and calculate its score in Big Tree Points.

In this chapter you will learn: how to find the square roots of numbers how to find the missing measures of right triangles how to use the Distance and Midpoint Formulas how to solve a problem by writing a proportion
