Not sure how to proceed. Non-homework question. Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Not sure what you need. IF you are saying how many boards 1" thick you can get out of the trunk if you cut it lengthwise: The diameter is 26.75 so you can make 26 cuts 1" thick and have a 3/4" sliver left over.
NOTE: in real life we'd have to deduct the width of the saw
