Question

1. find the coordinates of each listed point on the map.

a. point l
b. point a
c. point g

Explanation:

Step1: Determine Latitude and Longitude for Point L

To find the coordinates of Point L, we first identify its latitude and longitude. Looking at the map, Point L is in South America. The longitude lines (vertical) and latitude lines (horizontal) are marked. For Point L, the longitude is \( 60^\circ \text{W} \) (since it's west of the Prime Meridian, \( 0^\circ \)) and the latitude is \( 15^\circ \text{S} \) (since it's south of the Equator, \( 0^\circ \)). So the coordinates are \( (60^\circ \text{W}, 15^\circ \text{S}) \) or in decimal degrees (but typically in degrees with direction), or as \( (-60^\circ, -15^\circ) \) if using signed coordinates (west and south as negative).

Step2: Determine Latitude and Longitude for Point A

Point A is in Africa, near the Equator. The longitude is \( 0^\circ \) (Prime Meridian) and the latitude is \( 0^\circ \) (Equator). So the coordinates are \( (0^\circ, 0^\circ) \) or \( (0^\circ \text{, } 0^\circ) \).

Step3: Determine Latitude and Longitude for Point G

Point G is in Australia. The longitude is \( 150^\circ \text{E} \) (east of Prime Meridian) and the latitude is \( 30^\circ \text{S} \) (south of Equator). So the coordinates are \( (150^\circ \text{E}, 30^\circ \text{S}) \) or \( (150^\circ, -30^\circ) \) in signed coordinates.

Answer:

a. Point L: \( 60^\circ \text{W}, 15^\circ \text{S} \)
b. Point A: \( 0^\circ, 0^\circ \)
c. Point G: \( 150^\circ \text{E}, 30^\circ \text{S} \)
