A six-digit grid coordinate denotes a location within how many meters?

20 meters
50 meters
100 meters
200 meters

The correct answer is: 100 meters

A six-digit grid coordinate is commonly used in military mapping systems, specifically within systems like the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS). Each digit in the coordinate provides a more precise location, and the last digit pair represents a square that is 100 meters by 100 meters. Therefore, a six-digit grid coordinate can pinpoint a location within that exact 100-meter area. Understanding how grid coordinates are structured—where the first set of digits denotes a larger grid square (often 1,000 meters by 1,000 meters) and the additional digits narrow it down further—helps to clarify why 100 meters is the correct answer. It allows for precise navigation and positioning, which is critical in operational planning and execution for various military scenarios.
