Latitudes are defined as the angular distance between a point on the Earth's surface and the equator. The equator is at 0° latitude, and latitudes are measured up to 90° north and 90° south because beyond these points lies the geographical poles, where latitudes become undefined as lines of longitude converge.

What are high pressure belts found at 30 degree latitudes?

High pressure belts found at 30 degree latitudes are called subtropical high-pressure belts. These belts are generated by the sinking air from the Hadley Cell circulation at these latitudes, resulting in stable atmospheric conditions and clear skies. Subtropical high-pressure systems are associated with arid climates and are often responsible for the formation of deserts.


If the shortest leg of a 30 degree 60 degree 90 degree triangle has length 7 the length of the hypotenuse is?

In general call the shortest side a and remember this is always the side opposite the 30 degree angle. Then the other leg/side has length a(square root 3) and the hypotenuse has length 2a.So in the case of a=7, the hypotenuse has length 14.
