A geographic coordinate system<span> or a GCS uses a three-dimensional spherical surface to define certain locations on earth. Also, a GCS is often mistakenly called a datum, but a datum is just one part of a GCS.

Finally, a GCS includes a prime meridian, </span><span>an angular unit of measure, </span>and a datum :)

trapezoid W'X'Y'Z' is the image of trapezoid W X Y Z under a dilation through point c what scale factor was used in the dilation

bija089 [108]

Given:
WXYZ = 8m
W'X'Y'Z' = 6m

Pls. see attachment if it is similar to the figure that should have accompanied this problem. I simply edited the details to fit this problem.

WXYZ * scale factor = W'X'Y'Z'

scale factor = W'X'Y'Z' ÷ WXYZ
scale factor = 6m ÷ 8m

simplify: 6/8 → (6÷2) / (8÷2) = 3/4

The scale factor is 3/4

Choose a good projection/coordinate system from the predefined coordinate systems in ArcGIS for maps of the following areas. Exp

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Below is a good projection/coordinate system from the predefined coordinate systems in ArcGIS for maps of the following areas:

California - nad 83 utm zone 10n

New Jersey - nad 83 utm zone 18n

Nevada – nad 83 utm zone 11n

New Hampshire - Nad 83 utm zone 19n

England – epsg 2770

Antartica – epsg 3031

Explanation:

With respect to projection, California has a longitude and latitude that is in line with that of Humboldt country.

Thus, California - nad 83 utm zone 10n

With respect to projection, New Jersey follow the nad 83.

Thus, New Jersey - nad 83 utm zone 18n

Different projections are used for the Nevada, rather than that of the state planes.

Nevada – nad 83 utm zone 11n

With respect to projection, New Hampshire has a longitude and latitude that is in line with that of Grafton country

Thus, New Hampshire - Nad 83 utm zone 19n

England completely depends up on the pointed shaped.

Thus, England – epsg 2770

Antartica exists in latitude wise high zone.

Antartica – epsg 3031
