On what map projection do both meridians and parallels appear as straight lines intersecting each other at right angles?
Cylindrical
If a parallelogram has an angle measure of 37 degrees what are the measures of its other 3 angles?
Its other 3 angles are 37 degrees, 143 degrees and 143 degrees
What is the measure of the numbered angles in each rhombus 112 degrees?
If the rhombus has two angles of 112 degrees - then the other two angles must total 136 degrees.
If a triangle has angle of 80 degrees what are the other two angles?
Together, the other two angles would have to equal 100 degrees. So they could each be 50 degrees, or one might be 40 degrees with the other being 60 degrees.
One angle of a parallelogram measures 10 degrees. What are the measures of the other three angles in the parallelogram?
If one angle is 10 degrees, its opposite angle is also 10 degrees. Since consecutive angles are supplementary, each pair of angles has to add up to 180 degrees so the other angles have to be 170 degrees. Therefore this parallelogram has two 10 degree angles and two 170 degree angles.
A basic geography questions - Do all of the parallels and the meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and Mercator?
which main parallels and meridians cross each continent
What is the difference degrees and meridians?
Meridians are lines on a sphere (or other geometric solid) all of which go through the poles. Degrees are a unit of measurement of angles and temperature and concentration, and some other things. As a unit for measuring angles, meridians are measured in degrees. There are 360 degrees in a complete circle.
Do all parralles and marideans meet at angles other than 90 degrees?
Meridians and circles of latitude (parallels) will meet at an angle of 90 degrees at the equator only. All other crossings will not be 90 degrees as they converge to the two poles. To correct the previous answer: All meridians crossing parallels are not at 90 degrees due to the curvature of the spherical triangle's three sides. However, they will all cross at 90 degrees as viewed each from a specific point in space which would be perpendicular to the earth's N-S axis and directly over (in line) with the meridian.
On what map projection do both meridians and parallels appear as straight lines intersecting each other at right angles?
Cylindrical
What is the difference between parallels and meridians?
Parallels, as the name inplies, run parallel to each other in an east-west orientation. Meridians run through both poles, and so cannot be parallel.
What is the major differences between parallels and meridians?
Parallels, as the name inplies, run parallel to each other in an east-west orientation. Meridians run through both poles, and so cannot be parallel.

What is the difference between latitude and parallels longitude and meridians?
latitude and longitude are imaginary lines across earth which are used to navigate the latitude is how many degrees north or south of the equator you are your longitude is how many degrees east or west you are of Greenwich in London
What are the characteristics of a world globe?
1) all meridians are of equal length; each is one-half the length of the equator 2) All meridians converge at the poles and are true north-south lines 3) all lines of latitude (parallels) are parallel to the equator and to each other 4) parallels decrease in length as one nears the poles 5) meridians and parallels intersect at right angles
Differences between parallels and meridians?
-- Parallels are associated with latitudes. Meridians are associated with longitudes. -- Parallels are parallel, and no tweo parallels intersect. All meridians intersect all other meridians, at two places. -- Every point on a parallel has the same latitude. Every point on a meridian has the same longitude. -- Every parallel in the same hemisphere has a different length. Every meridian on Earth has the same length. -- Every parallel is a full circle. Every meridian is a semi-circle. -- Every parallel crosses all longitudes. Every meridian crosses all latitudes. -- The distance between two parallels is the same at every longitude. The distance between two meridians depends on the latitude where it's measured. -- To cross all parallels, you only have to travel 12,000 miles. To cross all meridians, you have to travel 24,000 miles.
Do all of the parallels and meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and the Mercator?
Yes, All line of latitude are parallel to the equator, but are not spaced equally. A mercator projection is based on a cylinder projection that is laid on the equator.
What type of projection is a mercator world map and what sets it apart from other projections?
The Mercator projection has straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles. Scale is true at the equator or at two standard parallels equidistant from the equator. The projection is often used for marine navigation because all straight lines on the map are lines of constant azimuth.
