Step 1

Longitude is a measure of the angular distance of a location east or west of the Prime Meridian, so the answer should be in East/West format. Now, we need to find the longitude of the monument. The Washington Monument is located in Washington, D.C., USA. The Show more…

Key Concepts

Longitude

Longitude is a geographic coordinate that defines a location's position east or west of the Prime Meridian. It is measured in angular units such as degrees, minutes, and seconds, and is crucial in locating a point on the Earth's surface within the global coordinate system.

Latitude

Latitude is a geographic coordinate that defines a location’s position north or south of the Equator. It is also expressed in angular units, such as degrees, minutes, and seconds. While latitude indicates the north-south position, it is distinct from longitude which describes the east-west positioning.

Geographic Coordinate System

The geographic coordinate system is a method used to pinpoint specific locations on the Earth using a set of numerical coordinates, namely latitude and longitude. This system enables the precise identification and mapping of points by referencing the Earth's natural angular divisions relative to the Equator and the Prime Meridian.
