Answer 1


<h2>Gerardus Mercator</h2><h2></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3></h3>

He was the first cartographer to use latitude and longitude as an assistant on sailors' maps. By applying a framework of dividing lines to navigational maps, he covered the way for contemporary marine charts.  Sailors utilizing maps in that projection no longer had to recalculate their attitudes on long trips.


Answer 2


<h2>The Lambert Projection more accurately reflects distances, shapes, and directions than the Mercator Projection and cannot show as much area as the Mercator Projection.</h2><h2></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3></h3>

The Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection is a selective mapping from a globule to a disk. It correctly describes the area in all regions of the sphere, but it does not correctly describe angles. The Lambert azimuthal projection is utilized as a map forecast in cartography.


Answer 3


<h2>The Mercator Projection accurately reflects navigational directions and distorts the actual size and position of continents.</h2><h2></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3></h3>

This projection is broadly used for navigation charts because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of continuous true application that allows a navigator to draft a straight-line course. These projections are usually utilized to express particular geographic regions.

Correct answer is ethnically homogenous.

Poland is a country where most of the people declared themselves as Poles. That means that there are practically no minorities in the country.

Triangle ABC, shown in the diagram below, is an isosceles triangle.
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: 75

This is how I did it: We know that triangles add up to 180, so subtract the known angle from 180 and you'll get 150. Then divide 150 by 2 to find out the other two angles and you'll get 75.

180-30=150

150÷2=75

So the answer is 75

:)
