I don't really get the last sentence after the comma:
"...if he allows 50 cm for knots."
That’s basically just means add 0.5 to the answer after you get it
use cosine rule:
90°-25° = 65°
length of rope = L
L² = 1²+2²-2(1)(2)cos(65°)
L ≈ 1.8
1.8+0.5 = 2.3 m (B)
Where’d you get two?
the fence is 2 metres high, from the 1st sentence
