Florida occupies the range of latitude of about 24.6° to 31° north. You're free to
draw as few or as many parallels in that range as you're comfortable with. There's
no official standard set of parallels to which you're limited.
You'd never ask "What mark on the ruler is closest to your height ?" You'd simply
ask "How tall are you ?"

Florida is located between the latitudes 24°30' and 31°00' North, meaning all parallels of latitude that fall within this range would pass through Florida. Some examples include the Tropic of Cancer at approximately 23°30'N and the 30th parallel North at 30°00'N.

Lines that run parallel to the equator are called?
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.

Two lines in a plane are parallel if they cross?
Two lines in a plane are parallel if they do not intersect, meaning they maintain a constant distance between each other and will never meet.
Why are longitude lines not parallel?
Longitude lines are not parallel because they converge at the poles. They are farthest apart at the equator and gradually come together as they approach the poles, eventually meeting at the North and South Poles. This convergence is due to the Earth's spherical shape.
Are latitude lines vertical or horizontal?
Latitude lines are horizontal lines that run parallel to the equator on a map. They measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
What line intersect through parallel lines?
No line can intersect parallel lines. Parallel lines by definition never intersect.
What does transversal lines mean?
They are lines that cut through parallel lines
What line passes through 2 parallel lines?
Any line that is not parallel to the given lines. The transversal that contains the shortest distance between the two parallel lines, is perpendicular to them.
How do you negate the euclidean parallel postulate?
Assume there are no lines through a given point that is parallel to a given line or assume that there are many lines through a given point that are parallel to a given line. There exist a line l and a point P not on l such that either there is no line m parallel to l through P or there are two distinct lines m and n parallel to l through P.
What is the definition of transversal lines?
A line that cuts through two parallel lines.
If alternate interior angels are congruent then the lines are?
Then the lines are parallel to each other and the alternate equal angles are created when a transversal line cuts through parallel lines.
How do you determine which lines are parallel and where the transversal is?
The transversal line cuts through the parallel lines that are equal distance apart and never meet together.
What is a line that cuts through two parallel lines?
transversal
What is a line which cuts parallel line?
The line that cuts a parallel line is called a TRANSVERSAL. When you have parallel lines and you want to show like corresponding, vertical, ect.... then the line that cut through the parallel lines is a TRANSVERSAL
Why can rays be perpendicular but not parallel?
Rays pass through one point. Parallel lines never meet.
When are two lines nonintersecting?
When two lines are parallel, then they do not intersect.
Are parallel lines actually parallel?
If they were not actually parallel then they would not be parallel lines!
