A giant sequoia (scientific name: Sequoiadendron giganteum) is exactly as its name suggests- giant! Currently, the "General Sherman" tree, thought to be one of the largest giant sequoias in the world, resides in the Sequoia National Park, which is located in northern California. The tree's largest circumference, located near the base of the trunk, measures approximately 102.6 feet!
Use scientific notation to represent the circumference of the General Sherman's trunk in inches. Include all of your calculations in your final answer.
