Why are distances from references lines measure in angles?
Jhuma Biswas
The angle is the name of the difference in direction between 1 line & another radiating from the same point. The measurement is in degrees. ( 360 degrees in a circle) Or the measurement may be meaured in Mils (6400 mils = a circle) 1 mil is the difference in distance (1 metre) in the circumferance of a circle 1 Km from the centre. The Royal Navy at one time used, I think, 32 points of the compass, NNW, ESE, 10 points to Starboard, Mr Christian ! etc. The angle, therefore, is the measurement of this difference in direction.

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal angles A and B are alternate interior angles that each measure 105 and deg. What is the measure of each of the other alternate interior angles?
Each other of the alternate angles will measure 75 degrees because there are 180 degrees on a straight line.
What does intersect each at right angles mean?
If two lines intersect each other at right angles, that means that the measure of each angle between the two lines is 90o. Another way of stating this is to say that two lines are perpendicular.
If two lines are cut by a transversal the corresponding angles are equal in measure?
[ ] Always [x] Sometimes [] Never
What is the relationship between vertical angles?
Vertical angles have the same angle measure. Vertical angles are formed by two intersecting lines that look like an "x". Angles that are across from each other on this "x" are called vertical angles.
If two lines intersect to form adjacent congruent angles then the lines are?
That is an important theorem in geometry: if two lines intersect to form adjacent congruent angles, then the lines are perpendicular. Those congruent angles would be right angles.
What are the lines on a map that measure distances east and west?
Longitude lines.
Imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator are lines of?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.
What do lines of latitude measure What do lines of longitude measure?
The lines don't measure anything, any more than the marks on a ruler do. Latitude and longitude are angles on the Earth's surface, measured between zero- references and the location you're trying to find or describe. Some maps and globes have some latitudes and longitudes marked on them, to help you estimate the angles. Just like the marks on a ruler.
Which distances do the lines of longitude measure?
west and east
What lines measure the distances from either side of equator to the poles?
Latitude lines
2 lines intersect one angles measure 190 what is the others angles measure?
10 degrees.
What lines measure distances north or south of the equator?
Longitude
Imaginary lines of measure distances from south and north of the equator?
latitude
How are the measure of the angles related when parallel lines are cut by a transversal?
corresponding angles are equal and alternate angles are equal
What method is used to measure the lines used to measure the lines of the longitude and latitude to find the exact location?
The method used to measure lines of longitude and latitude to determine exact location is called geodetic surveying. It involves the use of specialized instruments such as theodolites and GPS receivers to accurately measure angles and distances on the Earth's surface. These measurements are then used to calculate the precise coordinates of a particular location.
If the corresponding angles are on parallel lines then their measure is the same?
always
What lines measure distances from either side of the radiator to the poles?
latitude and longitude
