Latitude is measured basically in Degrees, more specifically in Degrees and Minutes, and even more specifically Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds.
Latitude and longitude are angles, and are stated in degrees and fractions of degrees.
On a graph, 'x' and 'y' are marked and measured in length or distance units. Latitude and longitude are marked and measured in angles.
Because a perimeter is measured in linear units while an area is measured in square units.
No, volume is measured in cubic units, area is measured in square units.
Latitude is distance from the Equator.
Latitude, which is measured in degrees, minutes and seconds.
The length, width, or height of a solid figure is measured in units of length. The area of the figure's outside surfaces is measured in squared units of length. The volume of space filled by the figure is measured in cubed units of length. The mass of the figure is measured in units of mass. The weight of the object is measured in units of force. The age of the figure is measured in units of time. etc.
The lines are never measured. They're only markers. Latitude and longitude are angles, that describe the locations of points on the surface of a sphere. They're expressed in units of angle measure, typically in decimal degrees, or degrees, minutes, and seconds.
Distance from the Equator is measured using lines of latitude. The Equator is designated as 0 degrees latitude, and distances are measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds north or south of the Equator.
Latitude and longitude are measured in degrees, with latitude representing north-south position and longitude representing east-west position on the Earth's surface.
in degrees
The lines aren't measured at all, any more than the marks on a ruler need to be.It's the latitude and longitude that need to be measured, and lines are oftenprinted on maps in order to make the job easier. Latitude and Longitude are angles,so they're described in angle units, most commonly in degrees and fractions of degrees.If you see a line on a map, every point on the 'line' has the same latitude or the samelongitude, so there's nothing on the line to measure.
