The lines that are perpendicular to the latitude lines on a map are called longitudinal lines. There are 24 of them, each representing 15 degrees of change.

A man walks 6 km east and then 13 km north how far away he is from the starting point and what is his direction?
It depends on where he started from. If he started 13 km from the North Pole, he will end up at the North Pole: so 13 km to the North of his starting point. If he started near the South Pole where the latitude is 6 km, he will again end up 13 km North of his starting point.If the earth were a flat plane, then he would be approx 14.32 km from his starting point. He would be 27.775 deg East of North.

What direction is directly opposite North North East?
North northeast corresponds to 22. 5 degrees on the compass. Adding 180 to that gives 202. 5 degrees, which equates to south southwest.
What is is a line?
Lines of Longitude are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. The main line of longitude, the Prime Meridian (zero longitude), passes through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England.
If a tree cast a shadow of 20 feet how tall is the tree?
That would depend on the angle of light on the tree.Any height.When the Sun is low, in the morning or evening close to the horizon, even a short object will cast a long shadow. When the Sun is directly overhead (at noon between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer) objects cast no shadow.If you tell us your location and the time you are measuring then there would be a possibility of calculating an answer.At noon on one of the equinoxes in Montpelier VT (or anywhere at the latitude of 45 degrees north or 45 degrees south) a 20 foot tall tree will cast a 20 foot shadow.
What is the longitude and and latitude of the tropic of cancer?
The two tropics are lines of latitude at 23°26′13.0″ North and South of the Equator and they intersect all lines of longitude.

What are the lines on the globe that run north and south between the poles?
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
Is latitude form north and south?
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure north-south.
Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.
Do latitude lines touch?
Lines of latitude (except 90 degrees, the poles) circle the planet, as the equator does. Each line includes points within planes angled with respect to the equatorial plane, and in a plane parallel to it. No two lines of latitude can intersect.
Does latitude run north to south or east to west?
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.
What are lines of latitude and what do they measure?
The lines of latitude are the North and South lines on the globe. They measure the time changes there are in areas.
