You can't calculate it, any more than you can calculate the address of a house.
You need to either find it on a map that has geographic coordinates marked on it,
or else read it off of a GPS receiver that you carry to that place.
A land surveyor does 'calculate' the coordinates in one sense, but not in the way you're
thinking. He measures the location of the unknown place relative to marks or objects
whose coordinates he looks up in a publication for surveyors, and then he calculates
the effect of the offset he has measured.
And one additional comment: A "piece of land" doesn't have latitude and longitude.
A set of coordinates describes a single point. Each corner of a piece of land, as well
as every other point within its boundaries, has a unique set of coordinates.
What else can I help you with?
What are ordinances?
Latitude and longitude.
What difficulties did you have finding the latitude and longitude?
No problem at all. It was a piece o' cake.
Which is an example of a piece ofinformation based on place?
An example of a piece of information based on place is the geographic coordinates of a specific location, such as latitude and longitude. This information provides the exact position of a place on Earth's surface.
What US capital city is located 40 degrees latitude and 83 longitude?
Latitude must include the tag 'north' or 'south', and longitude must include the tag 'east' or 'west'. The question doesn't include either of these pieces of information so, technically, the question only narrows it down to one of four places on earth.The only way we know which of the 4 points is intended is from the additional gigantic piece of information given in the question ... where it says "US". Now we know that 'north' latitude and 'west' longitude are meant.The specified point is in the middle of the block bounded by East 16th Ave., North 4th St., East 15th Ave., and Summit St., about a block south of Gilligan's Exxon Tiger Mart and Subway, in Columbus, Ohio.
What famous cape is located near 42 north latitude 70 west longitude?
Oh honey, we're talking about Cape Cod here. It's that little hook-shaped piece of land off Massachusetts that's a favorite summer spot for rich folks and beach lovers alike. So grab your sunscreen and get ready to rub elbows with the elite at this iconic New England destination.
What are panama's exact latitude and longitude lines?
Latitude and longitude are numbers that you can measure as close as you want to the truth, but never exact. Every point on Earth has a different set of coordinates. In principle, two pencil dots on the same piece of paper have different coordinates. And to ask for a set of coordinates that represents the location of an entire nation is especially meaningless. -- Panama occupies the range of 7.2028° - 9.6365° North latitude, and 77.1586° - 83.0461° West longitude. -- The Southwest end of Runway-04 at Aeropuerto Internacional Enrique Malek just south of David is located at 8.3861° north latitude 82.4397° west longitude. -- The north end of Runway-21R at Tocumen International Airport is located at 9.0933° north latitude 79.3750° west longitude. -- The center of the pitcher's mound at Roberto Mariano Bula Stadium in Colon is located at 9.3566° north latitude 79.8959° west longitude. -- The south end of the runway at Bahia Piñas airport, at Puerto Piña on the south coast of Panama about 30 miles northwest of the border with Colombia, is located at 7.5849° north latitude 78.1809° west longitude. Other points in the country all have different coordinates. The figures above are precise to within about 12 meters, and accurate to within perhaps 25 meters. If you need it better than that, you'll need to hire your own land survey.
Is longitude horizontal or vertical?
The lines of longitude are vertical; longitude measures the horizontal distance from 0 degrees longitude. Here is a mnemonic that helps me: Latitude sounds a little like 'ladder-tude', and the rungs of a ladder are horizontal. I picture myself 'stepping up or down' the lines of ladder-tude, and this moves me farther north or farther south. That leaves vertical for longitude. While the lines of longitude are drawn from north to south, their locations measure a parameter that changes from east to west; longitude tells you how far east or west you are (in degrees, not distance) from the prime meridian (zero degrees longitude). Lines of latitude are drawn from east to west, and they measure how far north or south you are. So running the risk of confusing you, the "concept" of longitude (what is your position east/west of the prime meridian) is really horizontal in nature. This can be a little hard to grasp. Draw a line on a piece of paper; make the line exactly one inch from the left margin. You have drawn the line 'up and down', but the line is there to tell you how to get one inch from the margin (left-right) no matter where you are on the paper. And no matter where you are on the line, you are one inch to the right of the left margin. So if you travel up and down a line of longitude, you might cover several thousand miles, but you haven't budged from your measure of longitude-- how far you are (in degrees) from the prime meridian. As you travel along your line of longitude, you see hash-marks with changing numbers of degrees. These are not changes in longitude, but in latitude. They answer: How far north or south am I, along this line of longitude? When doing navigation, the simple thing is that lines of longitude are all long. Since they all go through both the North and South Pole, they are all the same length. Latitude lines vary in length. Latitude: LAT=FLAT Longitude: LONG (heights)
What invention allowed sailors do plot their positions at sea by looking at the stars?
The SEXTANT. This instrument will give the latitude of a ship. However, because of solar movements a CLOCK(Time piece) is needed to determine the longitude(meridian). So the two inventions are ; - The Sextant, and the Clock .
What do you use to determine latitude?
A sextant is used to calculate the angle of celestial bodies (The sun, certain stars etc) relative to the distant horizon. This combined with an accurate time piece allows the latitude to be calculated mathematically. If we know that the elevation of the sun is at noon at Greenwich (UST GMT) relative to the horizon, we can measure it at our current location at noon and compare the difference between them against tables which factor in any errors (like height above sea level which changes the horizon distance), to calculate our latitude. Once this was the only way to determine position at sea (apart from visual references) but in more modern times the seaman has a number of systems available to him such as Decca navigation systems, SimRad which can be used to locate latitude (and longitude) however these days Satellite navigation has made these more primitive systems redundant.
How do you calculate density when given mass?
If you only know mass, you don't have enough information to calculate density.You also need to know the volume of the piece that has that mass.Once you have both of those numbers, the density is(Mass) divided by (Volume)of the same sample.
