Why aren't all parallels equal in length like meridians are?
There's a simple answer: The earth is a sphere and the parallels are, well, parallel to each other. So obviously the ones closer to the poles are shorter than the ones closest to the Ecuator. As for the meridians all meet at one point ehich are the poles, so they are all the same length.
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.
If you have a triangle with one angle 110 degree's and the other two angles equal 120 degree's What are the other 2 angles?
A triangle has only three angles and they sum to 180 degrees.
If home plate has four 90 dagree angles what is the measure of the other two angles?
If it has four 90 degree angles, than it's a square, and therfore only has four angles.
What are the sizes of the other interior angles of a parallelogram which has an 89 degree angle?
The 4 interior angles are: 89, 89, 91 and 91 degrees
