Question

The average length of an official chess table in the International Chess Federation is 110 centimeters (cm)

with a tolerance of 16.5 cm. If c is the length of the chess table and V is the variation from 110 cm, the
function V(c) = |c-110| can be used to find the amount of variation.
Complete the statements by typing decimal values in the blank spaces.

Answer 1

1. What is the maximum length of a chess table that is still within the tolerance limit?

To find the maximum length of a chess table that is still within the tolerance limit, we add the tolerance to the average length:

110 cm + 16.5 cm = 126.5 cm

Therefore, the maximum length of a chess table that is still within the tolerance limit is 126.5 cm.

2. What is the minimum length of a chess table that is still within the tolerance limit?

To find the minimum length of a chess table that is still within the tolerance limit, we subtract the tolerance from the average length:

110 cm - 16.5 cm = 93.5 cm

Therefore, the minimum length of a chess table that is still within the tolerance limit is 93.5 cm.
