What else can I help you with?
Does a rhombus's diagonals intersect to form right angles?
Yes... The rhombus's diagonals intersect to form right angles... But I'm not 100% sure..
When two lined intersect to form right angles they are called?
Perpendicular angles.
How many solutions to 2 lines that intersect have?
Two lines that intersect will create2 pairs of equal angles and if the lines are perpendicular the angles created will be right angles
What is lines which intersect to form four right angles?
a line that intersects to form four right angles is a perpendicular
Which quadrilaterals have diagonals that intersect at right angles?
Square and Rhombus
A basic geography questions - Do all of the parallels and the meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and Mercator?
On a globe, parallels and meridians do not intersect at right angles; only the equator and the prime meridian intersect perpendicular to each other. On a Mercator projection map, the meridians appear as straight lines converging at the poles, while the parallels are equally spaced horizontally, giving the illusion that they intersect at right angles, when in reality that is not the case.
Do all of the parallels and meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and the Mercator?
On a globe, parallels and meridians meet at right angles only at the equator and the poles. On a Mercator projection map, all meridians intersect the equator at right angles, while parallels intersect meridians at right angles throughout the map.
What is the type of cylindrical map projection that is commonly used and shows straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles?
The type of cylindrical map projection that fits this description is the Mercator projection. It is commonly used for navigation purposes due to its property of showing straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles, although it does distort the sizes of landmasses at higher latitudes.
What cuts each other at 90 degree angles in parallels and meridians?
Parallels and meridians are the lines that make up the Earth's grid system for navigation and mapping. Parallels are lines of latitude that run horizontally, while meridians are lines of longitude that run vertically. They intersect each other at right angles, or 90-degree angles, creating a coordinate system that helps in pinpointing locations on the globe. This grid system is essential for navigation, geography, and various scientific applications.
What directions do meridians run?
Meridians join the Poles of the Earth and intersect the equator at right angles, thus the direction is North/South.
What type of projection is a mercator world map and what sets it apart from other projections?
The Mercator projection has straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles. Scale is true at the equator or at two standard parallels equidistant from the equator. The projection is often used for marine navigation because all straight lines on the map are lines of constant azimuth.
What is a mercator projecter?
A cylindrical map projection in which the meridians and parallels of latitude appear as lines crossing at right angles and in which areas appear greater farther from the equator.conic
On what map projection do both meridians and parallels appear as straight lines intersecting each other at right angles?
Cylindrical
What do lines of latitude and longitude form when they intersect?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude.That is, they intersect at right angles.And here's a fascinating trivia factoid that you can use to amuse and amazeyour friends:-- No matter how many of these intersections you think there are,there are more than that.-- There are an infinite number of meridians of longitude, and every oneof them intersects an infinite number of parallels of latitude.
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
What are lines that intersect right angles called?
Lines that intersect right angles (ninety-degree angles) are described as perpendicular.
Lines that intersect to form right angles are called?
Perpendicular lines intersect to form right angles
