Let's solve this Latitude & Longitude worksheet step by step.
We are given a world map with labeled points (A to L), and we need to determine the latitude and longitude coordinates for each point. Coordinates are written as:
> (Latitude, Longitude)
> - Latitude: degrees North (N) or South (S) from the Equator (0°)
> - Longitude: degrees East (E) or West (W) from the Prime Meridian (0°)

- Latitude lines run horizontally (east-west). They go from 90°N at the North Pole to 90°S at the South Pole.
- Longitude lines run vertically (north-south). They go from 180°W to 180°E, with 0° at the Prime Meridian.
The map shows:
- Latitude lines every 18° (e.g., 72°N, 54°N, 36°N, 18°N, 0°, 18°S, 36°S, 54°S, 72°S)
- Longitude lines every 20° (e.g., 180°, 160°, ..., 0°, ..., 180°)
We’ll estimate the positions of each point based on these grid lines.

Step 1: Understand the Grid
- Latitude lines run horizontally (east-west). They go from 90°N at the North Pole to 90°S at the South Pole.
- Longitude lines run vertically (north-south). They go from 180°W to 180°E, with 0° at the Prime Meridian.
The map shows:
- Latitude lines every 18° (e.g., 72°N, 54°N, 36°N, 18°N, 0°, 18°S, 36°S, 54°S, 72°S)
- Longitude lines every 20° (e.g., 180°, 160°, ..., 0°, ..., 180°)
We’ll estimate the positions of each point based on these grid lines.
