How you use latitude and longitude to locate somewhere on a map?

Use the latitude and longitude lines on the map along with the coordinates. Find where the two coordinates meet and that will be the location you are looking for.


What is the latitude and longitude for the point A on the map?

Without seeing the map, this question is impossible to answer. But think of a map as a graph, the latitude relates to the X-Axis while the Longitude is analagous to the Y-Axis, so the Latitude will be what the X-Value would be and the Longitude would be the Y-Value.


When can you use latitude and longitude coordinate?

on a map


What map has parallel lines of latitude and longitude?

A map with parallel lines of latitude and longitude is known as a Mercator projection map. This type of map is often used for navigation purposes due to its representation of straight lines of latitude and longitude, making it easier to measure distances and plot courses. However, the Mercator projection distorts the size of landmasses, especially near the poles.


How do you use latitude and longitude coordinates to find an absolute location on a map?

First, look on the map to find the line of latitude that the coordinates reference. If the exact line of latitude isn't shown on the map, estimate it by looking at the lines that are available. Then look on the map to find the longitude line that the coordinates reference. Once you have found the two lines, follow them both towards the point where they intersect. That is the location the coordinates reference.
