What are parallels on a map?
Parallels are lines that run the same direction and are the always the same distance apart. On a map (and the Earth) the lines of latitude (measurement North and South of the equator) are parallel.
The parallels above the equator are which direction?
north
How do you find the height a trapezoid?
It is the distance between the parallels
Why can't you measure distance between lines of longitude?
You can, but the distances are not constant - they are zero at the poles and increase as you go towards the equator.
Do lines of latitude run parallel with the equator?
Yes. That's a big part of the reason why the lines are often called "parallels".
