Explanation:
ok, let me help you ...
1) While describing the location of a place, only one parallel and one meridian are considered.
2)For describing the extent of a region, it is necessary to assume the latitude and longitude of the center of the adjoining region.
3) the Location of a road can be described by a map as well as by GIS & GPS etc.
4 the 0- degree meridian called the prime meridian and The 180th Meridian is measured to run halfway across the planet and divides into East and West Hemispheres. It is the foundation for the International Date Line and it passes through the Pacific Ocean.
5)For a road or river, the terminal points are the 'point of origin' and the point where they end. Therefore, to describe the extent of a road or a river, it is essential to know the latitude and longitude from where the river begins its flow and the latitude and longitude of the area where the river ends.
6)The counting starts from equator, which stands at 0 degree and extends to 90 degree in both the north and south. Thus 8° 4' N parallel to 37° 66° N parallel is a correct description of state and it denotes the north and south location of India.
