Q. Renata moved to her new home a few years ago. Back then, the young oak tree in her back yard was 190190 centimeters tall. She measured it once a year and found that it grew at a constant rate. 33 years after she moved into the house, the tree was 274274 centimeters tall.\newlineHow fast did the tree grow? Answer in centimeters per year
  1. Calculate total growth: Determine the total growth of the tree over the 33 years. The tree was 190190 centimeters tall when Renata moved in and 274274 centimeters tall 33 years later. Calculate the total growth by subtracting the initial height from the final height: 274274 cm - 190190 cm = 8484 cm.
  2. Calculate annual growth rate: Calculate the annual growth rate. Since the tree grew 8484 centimeters over 33 years, divide the total growth by the number of years to find the growth per year: rac{84 ext{ cm}}{3 ext{ years}} = 28 ext{ cm/year}.
