For small distances, the two ends of the journey may be represented by points on a coordinate plane. The x-axis will usually face East and the y-axis North although that is not necessary. The shortest journey between the two places is the straight line joining the two points. This ignores the fact that there may be obstacles that you cannot cross but need to go around but that is another matter.
Latitudes and longitudes are effectively a coordinate system on the surface of the earth but, because of its shape, they do not form a rectangular system. Also, for longer travels, the shortest distance is along the arc of the great circle.

What the other name of rectangular coordinate system?
The other name for the rectangular coordinate system is the Cartesian coordinate system. You can remember it because cartography is the study of maps, which are generally rectangular.

Cartesian coordinate system.
what is y-coordinate in rectangular coordinate system?
A point's y coordinate is its vertical position, or how high or low it is.

How important rectangular coordinate system?
The rectangular coordinate system is the basis for how we find locations on a map, for example (even though the earth is actually a sphere, this was a basis). I would say it is rather important.

false
What is a rectangular coordinate system and identify its parts?
It's like cheese.
What are the components of a rectangular coordinate system?
cosine, sin* * * * *No. They are the horizontal or x-coordinate, called the abscissa; and the vertical or y-coordinate, called the ordinate.
Who invented the Cartesian coordinate plane?
Renee Descartes invented the Cartesian Coordinate system, commonly known as rectangular coordinates.
