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.

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 type of coordinate system is represented by the vertical and horizontal lines on a map?
On a map that shows only a small part of the Earth's surface, the coordinate gridlooks like Cartesian " X and Y " coordinates. But as the map shows more and moreof the Earth, it starts to become apparent that the "lines" of latitude and longitudeactually represent polar coordinates on a sphere of constant radius.On a map that's sufficiently accurate, your first clue is this: Carefully measure thedistance between two of the 'vertical' lines, at the bottom of the map, and thenmeasure the distance between the same two lines at the top of the map. The twomeasurements are slightly different, because on a map of the full Earth, the 'vertical'lines all meet, at the north and south poles.
How does the military use coordinates?
they have a huge map split into a coordinate plaine, and then they plot the points where to attack, infiltrate, or ambush the enemies. it tells them where to fly, where to stay and how to move.
What is isoparametric element?
Isoparametric elements use the same set of shape functions to represent both the element geometry and displacement interpolations (ux, uy). The shape functions are defined by natural coordinates, such as triangle coordinates for triangles and square coordinates for any quadrilateral. The advantages of isoparametric elements include the ability to map more complex shapes and have compatible geometries.
How are the lines of latitude and longitude used to locate points on Earth's surface?
The lines of latitude provide vertical (north-south) coordinates on a map or globe. Lines of longitude provide horizontal (east-west) coordinates. The defined geographical point is where the latitude line intersects the longitude line.
How do you get map coordinates from Google maps?
You cant but, you can look at a map to estimate the coordinates!
What is the critical rule for reading a map to determine grid coordinates?
The critical rule for reading a map to determine grid coordinates is to first determine the longitude (vertical lines) and then the latitude (horizontal lines) on the map that intersect at the point of interest. The grid coordinates are then expressed as a combination of the longitude and latitude lines.
What is alphanumric mean?
The reference for each square on a map is given by two coordinates: a letter and a number. (A,5)
What does grid map mean?
It means the map sheet is divided into grid squares... for example, military maps are divided into 1 square kilometer squares, to determine coordinates on various points of the map.
What are coordinates on just cause 2?
Coordinates in Just Cause 2 can be found on the top right hand corner of your PDA (Map). These can be useful to pinpoint a specific location.
Is it possible to find coordinates of Australia?
Is it possible to find coordinates on the map of Australia? why or why not
What are Philadelphia's map coordinates?
(39.952584, -75.165222)
What are the map coordinates for Berlin Germany?
NOTHING :)
What are the coordinates of Argentina on the map?
(-38.416097, -63.616672)
What do you understand by the co-ordinates of a map?
Coordinates on a map are used for navigation. Many ships and aircraft use coordinates to travel vast distances. Coordinates are also utilized by GPS (Global-Positioning Systems).
Which term desribes exactly where a place is located?
absolute location geographic coordinates, or map coordinates
What is the a coordinate on the gps of latitude and logitude called?
I have heard them called Map Coordinates and Geodetic Coordinates.
