a forester plants a tree and measure its circumference is yearly over the next four years the table shows the foresters measurements. Show the data are linear and write an equation that models the data. predict the circumference of the tree after 10 years was actually 43in after four more years the circumference was 49 in based on this new information does the relationship between time in circumference continue to be linear? Explain?
