you first ignore the last digit, and do the first 2 digits. then you split the small box into tenths. then do 2 figure grid ref on small box.

How do you use a six grid reference?

Go to the Ordnance Survey website (UK) and information on using a 6 figure grid reference can be found there. Basically, the UK is covered in 100,000 metre grid squares. Each grid square is identified by two letters. These squares are further divided into 10,000 metre squares that are numbered along the map's borders. An example reference could be: SD 638365 The SD identifies the 100,000 metre square, the 63 is the vertical line to the west of the point. The 8 is the tenths from that line easterly to the point. The 36 is the horizontal line south of the point. The 5 is tenths northerly from the line to the point. (5 would be half way). Instructions on taking grid references are printed on all Ordnance Survey Maps.


4 figure 6 figure grid references?

These are used In grid's. For an example - Grids on A computer - Map's and other. how to use these are VERY Simple. Notice on a map you follow the contor lines's which are the Numbers - Example 1 |_| |_| 2 |_| 3 |@| 4 |_| 5 |_| 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 - These numbers are an example, In a map these will go all the way around. Notice the square with the @ symbol in it, the 4 figure grid reference for that is - 43. In normal maps These are in double numbers. like 10. 4-3 - would be 4030, the "4" is the Bottom easting. ( bottom number) that is in that row of squares. and 3 is the HEIGHT. every number like 1-2-3-4-5-6 will Have a row of squares above them. so Tell me the Grid Reference Between 41 ( or 4010) Answer: It is in the "4 " Row, and at the top. of the row. a 6 grid reference Is More presice. these have more numbers than 4- Like 4030 - that cordinate, would have more numbers. Example : ( a 6 figure grid reference is only used to PINPOINT AN exact location of an Object -and the 6 grid reference would be - ( 1 |_| |_| 2 |_| 3 |._| 4 |_| 5 |_| 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 I wanna get the location of the Dot It would be "4-7-3-2" - 4 for the coloum, Picture the square from the bottom. was divided into 10' |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-| you just work how many Lines the Dot is across, which is 7. 4-7. the 3- as the middle row. and the 2 is 2 across. but on the Last 2 numbers. You Work across, on the side go to the LEft or the right side ( left side) and count 10 up from the -->|_| Side notice thr arrow - so it would look like -|- this, this is one side of the square - the left -|- -|- -|- |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|


Is a figure 8 a simple closed figure?

no, but an eight sided figure you could use is an octagon. a figure 8 may be a figure and closed but, it has no sides and no line segments.
