Question

Which one of the following should be a GIS coordinate located in the South East hemisphere?

a) 45, 60
b) 60, -45
c) -45, -60
d) -60, 45

Answer 1

The correct answer is d) -60, 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is d) -60, 45.

To determine if a coordinate is located in the South East hemisphere, we need to consider the values of latitude and longitude. Latitude measures the position north or south of the equator, while longitude measures the position east or west of the prime meridian. In the South East hemisphere, latitude values are negative (representing south) and longitude values are positive (representing east).

Out of the given options, option d) -60, 45 satisfies these conditions as the latitude value -60 is in the South hemisphere and the longitude value 45 is in the East hemisphere.
