Latitude and longitude give you way to describe, with whatever level of precision that you need, exactly where any location on the Earth is.
Without knowing where you are, we can't tell you that.
Latitude and longitude are angles used to describe the location of any point on Earth. They are the 'address' of the point.
For the same reason there are numbers on the front doors of houses. The system of latitude and longitude angles gives every point on Earth an 'address' of two numbers. They tell exactly where the spot is, and make it possible to find that exact spot, even if there's nothing there, and nothing but water for a thousand miles around it in every direction.
The function of latitude is to tell us far north south the equator we are. The function of longitude is to tell us east and west of the prime meridian we are.
We'd be glad to if you would tell us which of the Alexandrias you mean. There are 16 in the US alone.
-- tell others where you are, or where something else is -- understand where something or somebody else is located -- know how to get from where you are to where you want to be
It doesn't work that way. You could tell the latitude and longitude of one spot but not seacoast in general.
Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. Together, they tell you exactly where the point is located.
they are used to tell what your location on the earth is.
Without knowing where you are, we can't tell you that.
Every point on earth has both a latitude coordinate and a longitude coordinate. That's how you tell people where the point is, even if they're not there.
If you use longitude and latitude you can find a location easily on the globe.

Easy. La push, washington. First beach. By a driftwood tree at 37 longitude, 86 latitude ( just kidding about the longitude and latitude. )
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.
