Every point on the earth's surface has a latitude and longitude.
Your map may not have any marks near the place you're looking at, but the location of the place can still be measured.
If you measure a piece of string, and your ruler has no mark on it that lines up with the end of the string, that doesn't mean that the string has no length. It only means that its length is somewhere in between two of the lengths that are marked on your ruler.

What 2 states in the US have borders made up of 4 straight lines?
Colorado and Wyoming are the two US states with borders made up of 4 straight lines.
Can a circle be made of straight lines?
No. A circle has no straight lines. You can approximate circles with very small straight lines (that's how a computer draws circles) but mathematically, no.
Why do most western states have straight lines?
Most western states in the US were surveyed and divided into grids using the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) in the 19th century. This system was used to facilitate land sales and settlement, resulting in the characteristic straight lines and right angles seen in the state boundaries and land plots.
What is a shape made up of line segments?
A shape made up of line segments is a shape with straight lines, or a polygon. for example, a square has straight lines, or is made up of line segments. A circle is not in that category because it has no straight lines, they are curved.
Is a straight line a straight line and why?
Depends. Probably not because nothing is perfect! :)i have to disagree - the sides of crystals are straight~*Sigh*All lines are straight. A man-made one may not be, but by the correct definition, all lines are straight. Straight lines are a mathematical concept - an ideal concept - and therefore, conceptually, all lines are straight even if man-made ones are mere approximations.
How many straight lines are there in alphabet w?
There are no straight lines in the letter "W" because it is made up of two diagonal lines intersecting at a point.
Which countries have entirely straight borders?
if you mean which countries have borders that are entirely made up of straight lines like say the state of Utah then none but if you mean which countries have borders that include at least some lines that are entirely or perfectly straight then probably all or nearly all A few examples like Papua New Guinea and Egypt do however come close to entirely straight borders Land borders are defined by border markers. These are placed by mutual agreement by the two countries and mark out the border. They can be anything from a few tens of metres apart to a few Km apart. Normally they are within sight of each other. The border is deemed to run in a straight line from on border marker to another. Most borders are therefore a large number of relatively short straight lines, and most borders are defined by straight lines. This does not apply to borders which run along rivers or lakes. in this case the border is normally the centre of the river, which is not a straight line. Note a line of latitude (xx °N or yy °S) is not a straight line.
What state is made entirely out of islands?
Hawaii is the only state in the United States that is entirely made up of islands.
What is a graph that is made up of pieces of straight lines?
