What is the time travel and cost of driving from Chicago to Las Vegas?
Chicago to Las Vegas is about 1750 miles and takes about 25 hours. There are too many unknown variables to calculate the cost accurately. Your vehicle, its gas consumption, whether you take toll roads, the price of gas, how many days you take to drive, the price of hotels, etc. We would advise three days. If your car gets 25 mpg and gas is three dollars, that's 210 dollars in gas. Two nights in hotels could run another couple hundred and you'll need to eat. I'd say a minimum of $500.

What are the similarities and differences between latitude and longitude?
Similarities:
- Both are imaginary lines drawn on maps.
- Both make rings around the globe.
- Lines of latitude run east-west while lines of longitude run north-south.
- The maximum degree of latitude is 90 in each hemisphere while the maximum degree of longitude is 180 in each hemisphere.
- Lines of latitude run parallel to each other while lines of longitude converge at the poles.
- Lines of longitude are of equal length while lines of longitude decrease in length as they move towards the poles.
- Lines of latitude can be used to measure the climate of regions while lines of longitude can be used to calculate time from the time zones.
Latitude and longitude is a system for defining your position on a surface. Most particularly on the surface of the earth. To do this you use this system of coordinates.
Because you are defining a position on a two dimensional surface, two base, or reference lines are required.
The two references are both equivalent to zero degrees and referred to as up, down and left, right.
The two lines of zero chosen are called the equator (up, down) and the prime meridian (left right). Up, down is latitude also called north (up) and south (down). Left, right is called longitude also called east (right) and west (left)
So to define your position you would say you are x degrees north or south (up, down) and y degrees east or west (left, right)
Where these two coordinates meet is your position.

If you flew from the US to Puerto Rico which direction would you travel?
It depends on where in the US you are flying from. If you are flying from Detroit you would fly in a SSE direction. From Miami you would go ESE.
You would travel south. The latitude is changing from 32 N to 30 N, which means you are moving towards the equator. The longitude remains the same, so the direction of travel is predominantly south.
Is Maine the easternmost state?
Technically, no. Since the Aleutian Island chain of ALASKA crosses the International Date Line, some of its islands are by definition "east" of any other point in the US.
However, Maine is the easternmost of the "mainland" or "lower 48" US states.
What is the geographic center of Rhode Island?
It is 1 mile south-southwest of Crompton.
From its beginnings, Rhode Island has been distinguished by its support for freedom of conscience and action: Clergyman Roger Williams founded the present state capital, Providence, after being exiled by the Massachusetts Bay Colony Puritans in 1636. Williams was followed by other religious exiles who founded Pocasset, now Portsmouth, in 1638 and Newport in 1639.
Explain the function of latitude and longitude?
Their function is to succinctly and precisely identify, report, and describe the location of any point on the Earth's surface, in a system that permits the rapid, accurate calculation of the direction and length of the shortest route between any two points.
The function of latitude is to tell us far north south the equator we are.
The function of longitude is to tell us east and west of the prime meridian we are.
Help with longitude and latitude?
Well, what exactly do you need to know? Latitude is up and down (North and South) , and longitude is side to side (East to West). Just think of latitude fatitude for side to side, and LONGitude, for up and down. Latitude comes first.
