Geographers and sailors created a system of imaginary lines to locate places on the globe. One set of lines runs east and west, parallel with the equator. The other set of lines divide the earth into sections from one pole to the other. If you know which latitude line and which longitude line runs across a given place, you can find that place on a map by looking at the longitude and latitude lines on a map.

Find the mean of the y-coordinates of the vertices?
It is the sum of the y-coordinates of the vertices divided by the number of vertices.
What does coordinates mean in map coordinates?
Coordinates are linear and/or angular quantities that designate the position of a point in relation to a given reference frame. In a two-dimensional plane, x and y are commonly used to designate coordinates of a point.
What are the sub coordinates of equinoctial system of coordinates?
equinoctial system of coordinates
What is the distance in space between the points with coordinates (-3 6 7) and (2- 1 4)?
If you mean coordinates of (-3, 67) and (2, -14) then it works out as 81.154 rounded to 3 d.p.
How do you solve for a spherical triangle?
If by sperical triangle you mean a triangle on the surface of a sphere, you will need 3 dimensional coordinate geometry. Whether you use polar coordinates or linear coordinates will depend on what you want to "solve".
