A mayor on Sydney’s North Shore says she wants the person responsible for illegally destroying hundreds of trees jailed.
“They’ve also poisoned many species … including really old trees like a Sydney Red Gum or angophora that was 80 to 100 years old, so it’s really disheartening.”
Ms Hayden said there had been other incidents of tree vandalism in Castle Cove in recent years and the fines were not a deterrent.
One said they saw people with torches walking through the bushland at night.
“The fines would have to be very, very high to discourage people, but I think when it’s as serious as this jail has to be an option.”
Councils can issue a maximum on-the-spot fine of $3,000 for illegal tree removals by individuals or $6,000 for businesses.
Okay, let’s break this down step-by-step:
An Aussie thin beef sausage is typically about 45-50g and 15cm long. Let’s assume 50g and 15cm.
A regulation tennis court is 23.77m long x 10.97m wide.
Laid flat beside each other, sausages 15cm long would fit across the width of the court, which is 10.97m.
10.97m / 0.15m per sausage = 73 sausages laid flat across the width.
Down the length of the court (23.77m) they would continue to lay flat beside each other.
So in one tennis court we could fit 73 * 23.77 = 1,735 sausages.
You asked about 14 tennis courts.
So in total we could fit 1,735 sausages * 14 courts = 24,290 Aussie thin beef sausages!
In summary, laying Aussie thin beef sausages flat beside each other, about 24,290 would fit into the area of 14 regulation tennis courts. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions!
Your units seem off:
73 sausages * 23.77m = 1735 sausage meters
Unless your sausage is 1m wide, you will need to divide again by the width of the sausage (in meters) to get the total coverage of the court.
Brilliant. I didn’t read the answer and just cut and paste. Cunningham’s Law every time.
Blame the AI.
