The correct answer is Absolute Location = 10°36' N latitude and 71°33' W longitude; Relative Location = Southeastern Kansas

Absolute location is the location of a particular place that does not change e.g the latitude and longitude or address of a place.  

The relative location of a place changes as it depends on the person who is telling the location.  

  • If one wants to give the absolute location of a place then he/she need to provide the address or the coordinates of the place.  
  • If one wants to give the relative location of a particular place then one needs to provide information about that place in relation to another place.

Example:  

  The absolute location of United States capitol-  38° 53′ 35″ N, 77° 00′ 32″ W.

  The relative location of United States capitol- 281,8 miles North of North Carolina     Capitol

So, we can say that the correct answer is: Absolute Location = 10°36' N latitude and 71°33' W longitude; Relative Location = Southeastern Kansas
