Let's also assume, from out calculations above, that about \( 93 \% \) of the DRY MASS comes from carbon dioxide. Dry Mass of this Giant Sequoia Tree \( = \) Total Dry Mass that came from carbon dioxide \( = \) Show you work:

To calculate the dry mass of the Giant Sequoia tree and the total dry mass that came from carbon dioxide, we need to follow these steps: 1. **Determine the Dry Mass of the Tree**: Let's assume we have a specific dry mass for the Giant Sequoia tree. For example, let's say the dry mass of the tree is \( M \) grams. 2. **Calculate the Mass from Carbon Dioxide**: Since \( 93\% \) of the dry mass comes from carbon dioxide, we can calculate the mass derived from carbon dioxide using the formula: \[ \text{Mass from CO}_2 = \text{Dry Mass} \times \frac{93}{100} \] 3. **Substituting the Values**: If we assume the dry mass \( M \) is, for example, \( 1000 \) grams (you can replace this with the actual dry mass if known), then: \[ \text{Dry Mass of the Giant Sequoia Tree} = 1000 \text{ grams} \] \[ \text{Total Dry Mass that came from carbon dioxide} = 1000 \text{ grams} \times \frac{93}{100} = 930 \text{ grams} \] ### Summary of Results: - **Dry Mass of the Giant Sequoia Tree**: \( 1000 \) grams (or whatever value you choose) - **Total Dry Mass that came from carbon dioxide**: \( 930 \) grams Feel free to replace the assumed dry mass with the actual value if you have it!
