Every point on the earth's surface has a latitude and longitude.

Your map may not have any marks near the place you're looking at, but the location of the place can still be measured.

If you measure a piece of string, and your ruler has no mark on it that lines up with the end of the string, that doesn't mean that the string has no length. It only means that its length is somewhere in between two of the lengths that are marked on your ruler.

No. A circle has no straight lines. You can approximate circles with very small straight lines (that's how a computer draws circles) but mathematically, no.


Why do most western states have straight lines?

Many states in the Western US had their borders made along lines of latitude and longitude resulting in straight borders. This was done because the areas that became states were sparsely populated and often not entirely explored. So that a costly exploration and mapping of the borderlands to find a suitable boundary could be avoided, the people in charge of the states simply marked borders along lines they knew the existence of.


What is a shape made up of line segments?

Is a straight line a straight line and why?

Depends. Probably not because nothing is perfect! :)i have to disagree - the sides of crystals are straight~*Sigh*All lines are straight. A man-made one may not be, but by the correct definition, all lines are straight. Straight lines are a mathematical concept - an ideal concept - and therefore, conceptually, all lines are straight even if man-made ones are mere approximations.

Which countries have entirely straight borders?

if you mean which countries have borders that are entirely made up of straight lines like say the state of Utah then none but if you mean which countries have borders that include at least some lines that are entirely or perfectly straight then probably all or nearly all A few examples like Papua New Guinea and Egypt do however come close to entirely straight borders Land borders are defined by border markers. These are placed by mutual agreement by the two countries and mark out the border. They can be anything from a few tens of metres apart to a few Km apart. Normally they are within sight of each other. The border is deemed to run in a straight line from on border marker to another. Most borders are therefore a large number of relatively short straight lines, and most borders are defined by straight lines. This does not apply to borders which run along rivers or lakes. in this case the border is normally the centre of the river, which is not a straight line. Note a line of latitude (xx °N or yy °S) is not a straight line.
