Which parallel made the slave states and the free states?
The Missouri Compromise (1820) settled on the parallel 36 degrees 30 minutes. North of that line, there could be no new slave-states.
What are some geometric shapes?
Line, Circle, Triangle, Square, Rectangle, Trapezoid, Pyramid, Polyhedron.
The invisible lines that form east-west circles around earth are called both lines of?
An invisible line that forms east-west circles around the Earth is called both parallel and line of latitude. An imaginary line that circles the earth from north to south is called both meridian and line of longitude.
Who did the Missouri Compromise affect?
The territories acquired from France in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, which were awaiting admission to the USA. The Compromise put down down a line in the sand (parallel 36,30), North of which slavery would be illegal.
Were was the imaginary line of The Missouri Compromise?
It was the parallel that marked the Southern border of Missouri. All the way to the Pacific, anywhere North of that line was free soil. This was meant to settle the slavery argument in respect of new states. Both sides were equally dissatisfied with this solution - but 'equally' was the point. It kept the balance, and it kept the peace for thirty years.
How many parallel line in a circle?
Infinite when chords are parallel to the circle's diameter
What are the circle line parallel to the equator called?
lines of latitude
Can a circle be a parallelogram?
No, a circle can't be a parallelogram. A circle is a curve. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides constructed with four line segments. The line segments are straight, and the circle is a continuous curve.
What is the line that goes around the globe with a parallel line?
Do you mean, like, the Earth? The equator. If you mean the line going from side to side across the middle of a circle then... the diameter of a circle
Which geometric shape could not be drawn using both perpendicular line segments and parallel line segments?
A circle.
What line forms when a plane and a cylinder intersection?
A pair of parallel lines, an ellipse or a circle.
What pairs of distinct lines or line segments of a circle cannot be parallel?
Pair of radii
Can there be parallel lines in a circle?
The two points on exactly opposite sides of a circle are parallel to each other. This can be evidenced by finding the derivative/gradient at those points; if they are the same then the two line segments described by those points are parallel.
How do you construct a parallel line?
You place a ruler on a piece of paper and trace both sides. Put the point of your pair of compasses on the line and draw a circle. Then draw another circle, that is the same size, the same way further along the line. You will then be able to use your rule to draw a line that is a tangent to the two circle, and so parallel to your first line. Once you have done this you will realize that you don't need to draw a full circle just a small arc.
What is the main line of latitude called?
The main line of latitude is called parallel. These lines would include the equator, Tropic of Capricorn, Tropic of Cancer, Antarctic Circle and the Arctic Circle.
How Are tangents to a circle equal at opposite ends of a diameter?
Tangents ..... are parallel under conditions you gave. A tangent to a circle is perpindicular to the radius (diameter) at the point of contact. 2 lines perpindicular to the same line are parallel.
What is a thin flat slice taken out of cone?
Depends on the direction of the slice. 1) Parallel to the base creates a circle. 2) But, parallel to the line from the vertex to the center creates a hyperbola. 3) Imagine a line along the side of the cone from the circumference of the base circle thru the vertex, now cut parallel to that line and create a parabola, 4) Last cut at any angle not parallel to any of those and you create an ellipse. These are called the 4 conic sections.
