Question
In geography, places are located using latitude (horizontal) and longitude (vertical) lines in much the same way as points are located in a coordinate plane.
a. Name the city that is located at \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{N}\) and \(90^{\circ} \mathrm{W}\).
b. State the latitude and longitude of St. Petersburg. Round to the nearest ten.
c. Suppose you are standing at \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{S}\) and \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{E}\). Name the country you are visiting.
d. State the latitude and longitude of the city or town where you live.
Solution
The first step in solving 2-4 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In geography, places are located using latitude (horizontal) and longitude (vertical) lines in much the same way as points are located in a coordinate plane.a. Name the city that is located at \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{N}\) and \(90^{\circ} \mathrm{W}\).b. State the latitude and longitude of St. Petersburg. Round to the nearest ten.c. Suppose you are standing at \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{S}\) and \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{E}\). Name the country you are visiting.d. State the latitude and longitude of the city or town where you live.
From the textbook chapter Segment Measure and Coordinate Graphing - The Coordinate Plane you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
