Question

a) East of pm and north of equator
b) East of pm and south of equator
c)West of pm and north of equator
d) West of pm and south of equator

Answer 1

A coordinate of (20, -55) in GIS would be located in the Western hemisphere and south of the equator.

Step-by-step explanation:

A coordinate of (20, -55) in the Geographic Information System (GIS) would be located in the Western hemisphere and south of the equator. This is because the positive x-coordinate represents the east of the prime meridian, and the positive y-coordinate represents the north of the equator. Therefore, since the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative, the point is located in the West and South of the prime meridian and equator respectively.
