Question

Find the latitudinal and longitudinal location of your school with the help of your teacher. Display the same on the board at a suitable location in your school.

Answer 1

With the help of our teacher, we found the exact latitudinal and longitudinal location of our school by using a map, GPS, and an online map service.

School Details:

• Name of School: ABC Public School
• Address: Mumbai, Maharashtra
• City/Town: Mumbai
• District: Mumbai
• State: Maharashtra
• Country: India
• Latitude: 19.0760° N
• Longitude: 72.8777° E
• Hemisphere: Northern and Eastern Hemispheres

Latitude shows how far our school is located north or south of the Equator, while longitude shows how far it is located east or west of the Prime Meridian. By using both coordinates together, we can locate the school accurately on a globe or map.

We prepared a chart containing the school name, address, latitude, longitude, city, district, state, and country. We also marked its location on a map. The chart was displayed on the school notice board so that all students could understand the practical use of latitude and longitude.

Note: 19.0760° N, 72.8777° E are approximate coordinates of Mumbai. For your final textbook answer, replace the school name and coordinates with your school’s actual details.
