Test

We had a test in class today. I think failed the tests. I did not get a question right because i did not know how far off we were from San Francisco. I switched parallels and meridians on the test. I HATE THIS TEST. I studied for three hours but this information was not in my notes.  I did not know that lines of latitude were equal distance from the equator. How can they be equal distance from the equator if  on of them is right on top of the equator and another is at the antarctic pole!
