Answer 1

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,
`\mathrm{GH}=\mathrm{Fl}`

Now we know that
`\mathrm{GV}=6.55 cm; \mathrm{FV}=5.84 cm; \mathrm{VH}=3.27 cm`

Hence,

`GH = FI`

`\Rightarrow GV + VH = VI + VF`

`\Rightarrow 6.55 + 3.27 = VI + 5.84`

`\Rightarrow VI = 6.55 + 3.27 - 5.84`

`\Rightarrow VI = 3.98`

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.
