Do the diagonals of a rhombus cross at right angles?
yes, they do. though they are not always equal in length they always cross at right angles.
Do the diagonals of a rectangle cross at right angle?
No but they cross at right angles in a square
Does a kite have 2 right angles?
The diagonals of a kite cross each other at right angles
Does a parallelogram have diagonals that cross at right angles?
No.
What is made of two lines that are perpendicular to each other?
right angles where they cross
A basic geography questions - Do all of the parallels and the meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and Mercator?
On a globe, parallels and meridians do not intersect at right angles; only the equator and the prime meridian intersect perpendicular to each other. On a Mercator projection map, the meridians appear as straight lines converging at the poles, while the parallels are equally spaced horizontally, giving the illusion that they intersect at right angles, when in reality that is not the case.
Do all of the parallels and meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and the Mercator?
On a globe, parallels and meridians meet at right angles only at the equator and the poles. On a Mercator projection map, all meridians intersect the equator at right angles, while parallels intersect meridians at right angles throughout the map.
Do parallels and meridians intersect at right angles?
Yes. They intersect at 90 degree angles.
What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
What is the type of cylindrical map projection that is commonly used and shows straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles?
The type of cylindrical map projection that fits this description is the Mercator projection. It is commonly used for navigation purposes due to its property of showing straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles, although it does distort the sizes of landmasses at higher latitudes.
Do all paralles and meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and the mercator?
Yes.
What is a mercator projecter?
A cylindrical map projection in which the meridians and parallels of latitude appear as lines crossing at right angles and in which areas appear greater farther from the equator.conic
On what map projection do both meridians and parallels appear as straight lines intersecting each other at right angles?
Cylindrical
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
What is the explanation of a true shape in a map?
Which of the following is an example of a true-shape map? One showing the distribution of a malaria-carrying mosquitoes worldwide. Airplane pilot's map. One where a coin covers an equal area anywhere on the map. Parallels and meridians do not cross at right angles to each other. Equal-are map.
What directions do meridians run?
Meridians join the Poles of the Earth and intersect the equator at right angles, thus the direction is North/South.
Do diagonals of the shape rectangle cross at right angles?
The diagonals of a rectangle do not cross at right angles
