The trunk of the tree in itself is enormous, to hold up such a massive tree. The bottom half of the truck is roughly the shape of a cylinder, If the volume of the trunk is 314 ft^3 and the radius is 1 ft, then prove that this tree is a hundred feet tall.

The area of the whole garden, which is a square, including the circular pool is 90000 m^2. Find the area of the plantable surface in the garden (ie, the area without the pool) the formula for the area of a square is given by:
