Answer:
The length of VI to the nearest tenth is 4 cm
Solution:
The plot is like a quadrilateral and the fences are built on the diagonal
We know that for quadrilateral both the diagonals are in same height,
So as per the picture, [tex]\mathrm{GH}=\mathrm{Fl}[/tex]
Now we know that [tex]\mathrm{GV}=6.55 cm; \mathrm{FV}=5.84 cm; \mathrm{VH}=3.27 cm[/tex]
Hence,
[tex]GH = FI[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow GV + VH = VI + VF[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 6.55 + 3.27 = VI + 5.84[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow VI = 6.55 + 3.27 - 5.84[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow VI = 3.98[/tex]
Rounding off:
- If the number that we are rounding is followed by 5 to 9, then the number has to be increased to the next successive number.
- If the number that we are rounding is followed by 1 to 4, then the number has to remain the same.
Here the number to be round off is 3.98, 9 belongs to the first category stated above. So, 3 is increased to 4.
Hence, the length of VI = 4 cm.
