How many lines of symmetry does a hexagonal prism have?
Regular polygons have lines of symmetry equal to the number of sides/angles that they possess so a hexagon would have 6 lines of symmetry. (:
* * * * *
However, the question is not about a polygon but a polyhedron! A prism with regual hexagonal bases has six lines of symmetry at the bases, but it also has a line of symmetry along the centre of its length. Furthermore, there are infinitely many lines of symmetry in the plane that divides it halfway along its length.
How does the time of a place depend on its longitude?
Everything on earth at all places is happening at the same "time" no matter what the clocks say. However, it is convention to have "time zones" where the clocks are adjusted to show 12 noon when the sun is appriximately South (more accurately where what is south faces the sun). That means that as the earth spins on its axis different longitudes face the sun at a rate of 15 degrees of longitude pass facing the sun every hour. For convenience this line often deviates in places to follow national borders, but basically that is what is happening.
How is a line segment and a line the same?
They're not. A line segment is just two points connected. A line however, goes on forever in both directions. And then there's a ray that goes on forever in just one direction.

One way to recognize a line of symmetry is to look for a line that divides the original image into?
two congruent parts
If two parallel lines are perpendicular to the same line do the lines intersect?
the parallel lines never intersect each other but they both intersect the line they are perpendicular to
180 of them.
Distance from the international date line and the north pole?
The distance is zero. The north pole is one end of the
International Dateline. The south pole is the other end.
Flying from Tokyo to Los Angeles 10 am Sunday. What time will cross International date line?
You will cross the International Date Line when flying from Tokyo to Los Angeles. This means you will lose a day and arrive in Los Angeles on the same day you departed Tokyo.
Do you cross the international date line flying from san francisco to Singapore?
It's not necessary, but that's the shortest way,
and that's what all the airlines do.

Where is the date on a 32 caliber?
It probably isn't stamped anywhere on the gun. If you know the manufacturer and model, there may be a serial number. If there is a serial, there may be records which will give an approximate date of manufacture.

Why do vehicles travelling westwards deduct a day when the cross the international date line?
-- First of all . . . the International Dateline doesn't cross any land except on
Antarctica. So a vehicle, as in 'wheeled landcraft', that's crossing it, has a more
immediate problem than figuring out what day it is. In order to deal with this
question, we'll consider ships and aircraft that cross the line.
-- The few that actually 'deduct' a day do it because their passengers and crew
have been misled and are confused. The sad result is that when they reach their
destination, their calendars disagree with those of the locals by two days.
-- The correct and appropriate adjustment when crossing the IDL in the westward
direction is to ADD a day, i.e. tear a page off of one's calendar, as if one had instantly
aged by one extra day.
What do latitude and longitude lines represent?
-- Each meridian ( 'line' ) of longitude represents all of the infinite number of points
on the Earth's surface that have that one specific longitude.
-- Each parallel ( 'line' ) of latitude represents all of the infinite number of points
on the Earth's surface that have that one specific latitude.
Will you cross international date line flying from nc to Kenya?
You can if you want to. Since the Earth is a sphere (ball-shaped), you can start out
from anywhere, travel in any direction, and wind up anywhere.
As a practical matter, when people know where they want to wind up, and their
only reason for traveling is to get there, they'll ordinarily choose the shortest, least
time-consuming route.
From North Carolina to Kenya, that kind of route would NOT cross the International Dateline.
What is the general geographic position of New Zealand in relation to the International Date Line?

How are the lines of latitude and longitude used to locate points on Earth's surface?
The lines of latitude provide vertical (north-south) coordinates on a map or globe. Lines of longitude provide horizontal (east-west) coordinates. The defined geographical point is where the latitude line intersects the longitude line.
