How are you doing? Can you find the following cities on the map and then calculate their approximate latitude and longitude coordinates? Give it a try and see how you do. You can use the single quotation as a degree symbol if you wish. Sample Answer: 14'W 137'S

1. Beijing, China

• If you correctly calculated all three locations, then you are all set!
• If you missed any, take some more time to practice this concept. Use the cities listed below, in the More Mastery Practice section.
• If, after finding the cities below, you still need a little more practice, you will find a list of major cities and their exact latitude and longitude coordinates in appendix A. To locate the cities, use a world map that lists major cities. Many encyclopedias, as well as geography Web sites, contain such maps. When looking at the coordinates in the appendix you will see that those coordinates are exact and include fractions of degrees rather than the approximate locations that we have used in this lesson. Don't let that worry you; it is just more precise, and you can round it off. (For example, if the coordinate is 23.45° E, just pinpoint 23° E.)
