This question shows up on WikiAnswers roughly twice a month. In fact,
I just answered it yesterday. I've really become intrigued to know what
homework assignment or exam it's coming from. Clearly, everybody is
fishing for "Los Angeles". Unfortunately, that point is not in LA.
It's still located on the block bounded by Athel Dr., Edgeridge Dr., Skyline Dr.,
and Descending Dr., on the north side of Workman Hill, in Hacienda Heights,
California, about 15 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles as the crow flies.
The point has not moved since the first time it was answered here, and barring
any really significant seismic or tectonic activity, it's not likely to in the near future.
If you want "Los Angeles" to be the answer, then the coordinates have to change.
"34 degrees north and 118 degrees west" is still not in L.A.
Omaha
Los Angeles, California is the large city near 34 degrees North and 118 degrees West.
Cypress, CA is at 33 degrees 49 minutes north, 118 degrees 02 minutes west.
A set of coordinates describes a single point on the earth's surface, so a whole state can't be at the same coordinates. That point is in the Sacatar Trail Wilderness in Olancha, California. It's about 6.8 miles northwest of the town of Little Lake, 70 miles northeast of Bakersfield, and 160 miles west of Las Vegas.
That point is at sea in the Taiwan Strait, about 17 km southeast of Chihu on the coast of the mainland, and about 240 km due west of the coast of Taiwan near Chang-hua.

34 degrees north and 118 degrees west is located on the block bounded by Athel Dr., Edgeridge Dr., Skyline Dr., and Descending Dr., on the north side of Workman Hill, in Hacienda Heights, California, about 15 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles as the crow flies.
118 degrees Celsius is 244.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
34 N 118 W is Hacienda Heights, California, USA. Los Angeles is the city.Note: there are two latitudes marked as west in the question (34 degrees west 118 west). I assume that Hacienda Heights, Los Angeles, USA, is the correct answer the questioner wanted?
Cypress, CA is at 33 degrees 49 minutes north, 118 degrees 02 minutes west.
The back azimuth is the direction opposite to a given azimuth, measured in degrees. To calculate the back azimuth of 118 degrees, you add 180 degrees. Since 118 + 180 = 298 degrees, the back azimuth of 118 degrees is 298 degrees.
It is: 180-118 = 62 degrees

That point is located about 118-ft north of E 15th Ave and 326-ft east of Summit St (US-23) in Columbus, Ohio.
