Answer:

0.58 meters

Explanation:

If he find several trees with circumferences greater than 1.8 meters.

C>1.8

Circumference of a circle =
\pi d

Therefore:


\pi d>1.8\\d>1.8 / \pi\\d>0.57

Therefore
d\geq 0.58

Therefore, the minimum diameter of one of the trees is 0.58 meters correct to 2 decimal places.
