Algebra is used in every aspect of every type of engineering. If I were designing a water canal, I would have to consider slope, cross sectional area, flow rates. If I were engineering a road, I would have to calculate the volume of gravel and asphalt per unit of length and multiply them for the whole road. I would have to calculate labor rates and percentages of sick days for the crew. Seriously, every type of engineering requires algebra so often that we don't even think about most of it.

Longitude and latitude lines are perpendicular to each other. Most road intersections in major cities are set up in a grid, making the cross streets perpendicular.
