Best Answer

Meridians and circles of latitude (parallels) will meet at an angle of 90 degrees at the equator only. All other crossings will not be 90 degrees as they converge to the two poles.

To correct the previous answer: All meridians crossing parallels are not at 90 degrees due to the curvature of the spherical triangle's three sides. However, they will all cross at 90 degrees as viewed each from a specific point in space which would be perpendicular to the earth's N-S axis and directly over (in line) with the meridian.

If five angles of a heptagon have measures of 80 degrees 85 degrees 175 degrees 90 degrees140 degrees and if the other two angles are congruent what is the measure of each of the other two angles?

Total interior angles ((2 x 7) - 4) right angles ie 900 degrees. Given angles total 570 degrees so each of the other angles is (900 - 570)/2 ie 165 degrees.


What are the other angles of a parallelogram when one interior angle is 27.5 degrees?

The other 3 angles are 27.5 degrees, 152.5 degrees and 152.5 degrees because opposite angles are equal in a parallelogram and its 4 interior angles add up to 360 degrees.


If a parallelogram has an angle measure of 37 degrees what are the measures of its other 3 angles?

Its other 3 angles are 37 degrees, 143 degrees and 143 degrees


What size are the angles inside a pentagon when two are 85 degrees and 95 degrees with the other angles all being equal in size?

The other three angles will each measure 120 degrees.


If three angles in a hexagon measure 140 degrees what are the measures of the other three angles?

55 degrees


What is the measure of the numbered angles in each rhombus 112 degrees?

If the rhombus has two angles of 112 degrees - then the other two angles must total 136 degrees.


If four angles of a hexagon measure 53 degrees 126 degrees and 117 degrees what is the sum of the measure of the other two angles?

64 degrees because the total of the angles has to equal 360 degrees for it to be a hexagon.


What are the sizes of the other interior angles of a rhombus when one of them is 33 degrees?

It will have 2 opposite equal angles of 33 degrees and 2 opposite equal angles of 147 degrees


What are the angles of a right isosceles triangle?

The two other angles are 45 degrees each. The three angles of every triangle always add up to 180 degrees. -- A right triangle is a triangle that has a right angle in it. -- A right angle is 90 degrees. -- That leaves 90 degrees for the other two angles in the right triangle. -- If it happens to be isosceles, then the other two angles are equal. -- Those must both be 45 degrees.


If a triangle has angle of 80 degrees what are the other two angles?

Together, the other two angles would have to equal 100 degrees. So they could each be 50 degrees, or one might be 40 degrees with the other being 60 degrees.


If one angle of a parallelogram measures 40 degrees and another angel measures 140 degrees what are the measures of the other two angles?

The other two angles are also 40 degrees and 140 degrees.


What do all the angles in a obtuse triangle if the obtuse angle is 120 Degrees?

The other 2 angles will be acute and the 3 angles altogether will add up to 180 degrees
