What use coordinates?
There are two main uses of coordinates. The common use is to the location of a point in space which may be two dimensional or multi-dimensional. Maps are a good example of this use. Every place on earth has a unique latitude and longitude and that enables us to unambiguously locate places. Coordinate geometry also allows mathematicians to use results from algebra to solve problems in geometry.
What types of information can one gain from different types of maps of a country?
You can learn how to get to somewhere using road maps,museum maps,and etc.
What does a cartograph draw?
Maps.
What is caused by maps to be two dimensional?
Maps covering a large area suffer from "barrel distortion". In the usual layout of maps, East-West distances are compressed near the equator and exaggerated as you move towards the poles.
What problem cause by maps dimensional?
Distortion
What are some ways to get proof of the difference between a mile and a kilometer?
Most maps are measured in both. Google maps has a scale of both.
What is the distance measured in miles from El Paso TX to the Grand Canyon?
It is 596 miles according to Google Maps.
Do topographic maps change over time?
Yes, they do
What is poche in architecture?
"Poche" is French for "pocket." In architecture it refers to plans or maps that have materials completely blacked in, to get a better idea of the geometry of the physical space by outlining it.
When are new maps coming out for Halo 3 after mythic?
play sonic in halo just download and the maps change
What is the distance measured in miles from El Paso Texas to Port Arthur Texas?
It is 834 miles according to Google Maps.
How can the shortest distance between two points be a curve?
Actually, this turns out to be more of a debate than you might think. Historically, most of us were taught the shortest distance between two points is a straight line; that is a principle of Euclid's geometry. But not everyone agrees with Euclid, and there are other types of geometry. For example, because the Earth is a sphere, and not flat as distance maps portray it, that is why some scientists say that the shortest distance is actually a sphere or a curve (in other words, the distance would be measured by following the Earth's contours).
Did Ferdinand Magellan discovery change the maps?
Yes, he proved that there was a westward route from china to India that changed everyone's maps
Why do maps distort the distance?
routes change all the time
Have maps changed over time?
Yes, with time maps change to include more accurate data and include more places.
WHen will the electoral map change again?
Electoral maps change every 10 years when the US census is conducted.
Understanding the complete surface of mercury is difficult why?
Because its orbit around the sun is so elliptical and it moves quickly. This is why until the messenger spacecraft went into orbit around it three months ago, there were no complete maps of this planet.
