They're used equally. With only one of them it's like trying to find the right house when you know the street name, but not the number.
it can show you some state borders in the west.
In the late 1600s, Connecticut's borders in terms of latitude and longitude were approximately 40 degrees 58 minutes to 42 degrees 3 minutes north latitude and 71 degrees 47 minutes to 73 degrees 44 minutes west longitude.
Every place has its own unique latitude and longitude, so other than China, no other place can have the same latitude and longitude as itself.
All 50 states in the United States use some form of latitude and longitude lines to determine their borders.
There are only a few US states in which EVERY border is defined by a line of latitude or longitude; normally the state borders represent some physical feature such as a river or mountain range. Look for perfectly straight lines; those are defined by latitude or longitude. Curvy borders are normally rivers. Some of the straight borders are famous; for example, in the 1760's, two famous surveyors named Mason and Dixon surveyed the border between Pennsylvania and Maryland. Most people have heard of the "Mason-Dixon Line", but don't know where it is. The term "Dixie" as meaning the southeastern United States may have come, at least in part, by the north/south division of the American colonies by the Mason-Dixon line. There's probably not a single state, with the possible exception of Hawaii, that doesn't use latitude and longitude to define some portion of its border, since any formal land survey will return its results in terms of the geographic coordinates of the significant points along the boundary of the property.

With some borders falling outside these coordinates, the heart of Libya is a rectangle that runs from 25 degrees North latitude to 30 degrees North latitude and 10 degrees East longitude and 25 degrees East longitude. The geographic center of Libya is 25 degree North latitude and 17 East longitude.
Some borders are made by natural features, such as rivers. Other times, there might be a straight line determined by geographical latitude or longitude.
Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. Their borders have both latitude and longitude border lines. New Mexico does not qualify. There's a small section near El Paso that has wavy borders.
England is a country that shares land borders with Scotland and Wales. The latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of this country are 51o30'N, 0o7'W.
Borders are determined either by natural formations such a s river or lake or by surveying which frequently is linked with longitude and latitude. The latter would be straight lines either N & S or E & W.
That point is in northern Argentina, about 140 miles west of the point where the borders of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay meet.
