Question

Section II Measuring Latitude and Longitude Location Latitude and longitude are abbreviated as shown in the example below. You must be careful to indicate IODicof the Pethe M.position is located North (N) or South (S of the equator, and East (yor West Examples: Lat. 9° N, Long. 115 E Lat, 24 +00.S. Long. 5421 . w Note: When minutes are used in the notation of either latitude or longitude, they must also be used in the notation of the other, this is to insure that both are reported with the same spatial precision to be technically correct. Note: On some maps greater detail is required and hence each degree of latitude or longitude is subdivided into 60 minutes (60') and each minute is subdivided into 60 seconds (60). Following are two geographic grids, each one representing a simple map. On these maps, North is assumed to be toward the top. 1. On the following figures, determine the latitude and longitude (in degrees and minutes) of the points shown on the conical projection (Figure 1.2) and the cylindrical projection (Figure 1.3 42 410 40 39° A. PointX 2426 B. Point Y Figure 1.2 Conical Projection C. Pointz
