Question
cho complete each sentence. the red the longitude associated with the red dot is choose taken together, these points are a way to describe choose location in west virginia. dropdown options: 81°e, 38°s, 81°w, 38°n map of us states with west virginia and a red dot
First Sub - Question (Longitude of the red dot)
Step1: Recall longitude rules
Longitude: East ($\text{E}$) or West ($\text{W}$). The Americas (including West Virginia) are in the Western Hemisphere, so longitude should be west ($\text{W}$). Latitude: North ($\text{N}$) or South ($\text{S}$); West Virginia is in Northern Hemisphere, but the first question is about longitude. From the map and options, the longitude for West Virginia - related location should be $81^\circ\text{W}$ (since $81^\circ\text{E}$ is in Eastern Hemisphere, $38^\circ\text{S}$ and $38^\circ\text{N}$ are latitudes).
Step2: Select the correct option
Among the options, the longitude (west - east) for the red dot (in West Virginia region) is $81^\circ\text{W}$.
Second Sub - Question (Type of location description)
Step1: Recall geographic location types
Longitude and latitude together are used to describe absolute location (as opposed to relative location). Absolute location is a precise coordinate - based description, while relative is based on surroundings. Since we are using longitude and latitude (like $81^\circ\text{W}$ and $38^\circ\text{N}$), this is absolute location.
Step2: Select the correct term
The points (longitude and latitude) describe absolute location in West Virginia.
