So, the basic answer to your question is: a "flat" map projection causes the distortion of land masses due to the allocation of space within it. First, it is important to know that there is only one accurate form of map projection: a globe. However, using a globe (either virtually or physically) can be very inconvenient. The solution is to use a "flat" map. However, the use of this "flat" map comes with the disadvantage of either distorting the shape or size of different land masses, since it is physically impossible to project a round object (land mass) and make it flat without altering its physical characteristics (shape or size).

If x = 9 units, y = 3 units, and h = 11 units, find the area
Volgvan

Answer:

297 units^2

Explanation:

Let's keep the area or volume as 'v'

v = x \times y \times h

So if we substitute in the values we get,

v = 9 \times 3 \times 11

v = 297

So therefore, the total volume is 297 units^2
