Every point on Earth has longitude and latitude.
10 states.
No, no more than border lines between states or naions.
There are 39 states that are partially defined by longitude and latitude.
States with only straight borders could probably be defined just by longitude and latitude. Those states are: Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico - so 4 states. Colorado and Wyoming would be easiest since they are both essentially rectangles projected onto the sphere of the Earth. Utah is a little more complicated since Wyoming bites into one corner of the state. New Mexico would require the most latitude/longitude information since its Southern border is kind of jagged. All the other states have at least one border determined by a coastline or river or mountain range or some other feature that is most definitely NOT straight, thus cannot be accurately captured just by longitude and latitude.
Once you have a latitude and a longitude, you've got the location pinned downto a single point on the earth's surface. Other places can have the same latitude,and still other places can have the same longitude, but no other point anywhereon the planet can have the same latitude and the same longitude as the first one.
The 48 states of the continental United States are found within the latitude range from N 25 to N 50 degrees. The longitude goes from west 65 in Maine on the east coast to west 125 in California on the west coast. All cities and states in the continental United States will be found in this range of latitude and longitude. Alaska, Hawaii, and US Territories are outside this range.
A geometric border is made by the lines of latitude and longitude, the United States has mostly a goemetric border with Canada.

The only country that shares a land border with South America is Panama. None of the United States comes anywhere close.
Once you name a longitude and latitude, you've nailed down a single point on the Earth's surface, and no other point anywhere on Earth can have the same longitude and latitude.
Every point on the surface of the earth has latitude and longitude. If the latitude and longitude of a point are given and they're sufficiently accurate, the point can be found within less than an inch, anywhere on earth.

The latitude and longitude for the capital of the United States of America is: N38*53', W77*02'

Some borders are made by natural features, such as rivers. Other times, there might be a straight line determined by geographical latitude or longitude.
