What else can I help you with?
Why is it important to know north or south for latitude and east or west for longitude when using latitude and longitude to locate a place on a map?
You might mix the directions up and end up somewhere far away from your original destination because you might be walking in the opposite direction!
What city has latitude 51 26 north and longitude 5 30 east?
it might be Amsterdam
What is the latitude and longitude of the capital of Austin?
There is no country or state called 'Austin', but here's something that might help: The center of the dome on the Texas State Capitol at Austin is located at 30.2747° north latitude 97.7403° west longitude.
How is a degree if longitude or latitude further subdivided?
Longitude and latitude are given in degrees, each degree is 60 minutes, each minute is 60 seconds.A coordinate might be written similar to 65° 32' 15" (degree °, minute ', second ").
Name the major lines of longitude?
the five major lines of longitude are the greenwich meridian,yellowich meridian, bluewich meridian, orangewich meridian and the pinkwich meridian * * * * * The major longitude is the Greenwich meridian. The other is the line of longitude on the opposite side of the earth - more or less the International Date Line. Except that it is not a straight pole-to-pole line.
What are the coordinates to Calcutta India?
Latitude (DMS): 22° 34' 11 N Longitude (DMS): 88° 22' 11 E i think it might be this
What countries or states have approximately the same latitude and longitude of Sarasota Florida?
Once you have a latitude and a longitude, you've got the location pinned downto one single individual unique point on the earth's surface. Other places can havethe same latitude, and still other places can have the same longitude, but no otherpoint anywhere on the planet can have the same latitude and the same longitudeas the first one.I guess you might say that a lot of east-central Florida has approximately the samelatitude and longitude as Sarasota, but that's a technically sloppy statement.
What is the longest point of intersection of latitude and longitude?
The question is unfathomable. Every parallel of latitude intersects every meridianof longitude in a point. All of those points are geometrically identical, and no pointhas any length.As I search frantically for anything that the question might be talking about, theonly possibly-relevant factoid up with which I'm able to come is this one:There are only two places where a latitude intersects more than one longitude at thesame point ... the north and south poles, where the latitude is exactly 90 degreesand all longitudes merge at the same single point.
Where is Truth of Consequences located?
One might find Truth or Consequences in the southern state of New Mexico in the United States. Truth or Consequences is the location of City Hall in Sierra, New Mexico. Truth or Consequences is also a spa city in the southern state. One might also find the location of this site by its latitude and longitude. Its latitude is, 33, 8'1 N and longitude is, 107, 15'10 W.
Do you spell out east and north when writing latitude and longitude?
No, typically it is written as follows:32° 52' 20" N , 90° 20' 42" Eit can also be written+32° 52' 20" , +90° 20' 42"(Where "+" denotes North or East and "-" denotes South or West)
When writing the coordinates of a location which order do you write them in?
When writing the coordinates of a location, you typically use the format of latitude followed by longitude. Latitude is written first and indicates the north-south position, while longitude indicates the east-west position. For example, a coordinate might be expressed as 34.0522° N, 118.2437° W for Los Angeles, California.
How does latitude and longitude apply to mathematics?
Once upon a time, before GPS, sailors spent hours with mathematical tables to work out their position (latitude & longitude) from the angle of the sun or stars above the horizon. If they got it wrong, they might get lost and run out of food, or hit a rock in fog and sink. If the Earth is approximated as a sphere (it's actually a bit flat on top), latitude and longitude can be calculated using spherical geometry. In practice, sailors used tables of precalculated functions, e.g. haversines, and worksheets which reduce the problem to following rules and doing a lot of arithmetic.
