The angle is the name of the difference in direction between 1 line & another radiating from the same point. The measurement is in degrees. ( 360 degrees in a circle) Or the measurement may be meaured in Mils (6400 mils = a circle) 1 mil is the difference in distance (1 metre) in the circumferance of a circle 1 Km from the centre. The Royal Navy at one time used, I think, 32 points of the compass, NNW, ESE, 10 points to Starboard, Mr Christian ! etc. The angle, therefore, is the measurement of this difference in direction.

Would two lines be parallel if the consecutive interior angles measured 108 degrees and 74 degrees Explain?

No, two lines would not be parallel if the consecutive interior angles measured 108 degrees and 74 degrees. Consecutive interior angles on parallel lines are always congruent, meaning they have the same measure. Therefore, if the consecutive interior angles have different measures, the lines cannot be parallel.


How are distances measured on a map?

East and west distances can be measured using longitude lines, imaginary lines that connect the Earth's poles. The distance between any two longitudes is the greatest at the equator, and zero at the poles.

Are all straight angles straight lines?

Think about this: A straight angle makes 180 degrees, right? Straight lines, when measured by a compass, are also 180 degrees. So, yes, all straight angles are straight lines.


What lines are drawn on maps from the North Pole to the South Pole to measure distance east to west?

Lines that run north and south are called meridians of Longitude.They mark angles east and west of the prime meridian.Lines that run east and west are called parallels of Latitude.They mark angles and distances north and south of the equator.


Would two lines be parallel if the consecutive interior angles measured 108 degrees and 74 degrees?

yes


How is distance measured from the Equator?

Distance from the Equator is measured using lines of latitude. The Equator is designated as 0 degrees latitude, and distances are measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds north or south of the Equator.


How are vertical and complementary angles related?

Vertical angles are equal in measure and are formed when two lines intersect. Complementary angles, on the other hand, add up to a total of 90 degrees. They are not directly related, but if two lines intersect and form vertical angles, then the angles adjacent to the vertical angles will be complementary.


What is the locus of all points that are equidistant from 2 lines called?

Assume that all distances are measured along the appropriate perpendicular. There is no specific name for the locus since the locus can be two or one straight lines, depending upon the original two lines. If the two lines are intersecting then the locus is a pair of straight lines that bisect the two angles formed by the original lines. If the original two lines are parallel, then the locus is a line parallel to them and halfway between them.


Are links cannot be measured when two of us meet we form of right angles what am I?

The riddle describes a "pair of perpendicular lines." When two lines intersect at a right angle, they form a pair of right angles, and their lengths (or links) cannot be measured in a traditional sense since they extend infinitely in both directions.


From what point are all lines of latitude measured?

The equator is the origin (the zero) of latitude.Latitude is measured in angles, not lines.
