slava [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

C. It gained acceptance among cartographers, but was slow to gain acceptance by the public because it looked radically different from the Mercator Projection.

Explanation:

  • The Gall and the peters map projection is a rectangular-shaped map projection and they have a common size relate to each other. Like that of the equal-area projection and its goal is to distort more shapes and as a latitude and longitude of 45° North and south on the map have no distortions.
  • In 1855 James gall and a. peters published this projection in early in 1970 was called as the peters worlds map and was promoted as a superior projection to the Mercator map projection suited for navigation.

Which expressions can be used to find the coordinates of the midpoint of PQ with endpoints P(3, –1) and Q(–7, –6)? Select THREE
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A line segment is a straight line with finite length, and thus, have to endpoints(points on either end). The correct options are 2, 3, and 5.

<h3>What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment AB?</h3>

A line segment is a straight line with finite length, and thus, have to endpoints(points on either end).

Suppose we've two endpoints of a line segment as A(p,q), and B(m,n), Then let the midpoint be M(x,y) on that line segment. Then, its coordinates are:

x = \dfrac{p+m}{2}

and

y = \dfrac{q+n}{2}

The midpoint of the points P(3, –1) and Q(–7, –6) is,

x = (-7+3)/2 = -4/2 = -2

y = (-6-1)/2 = -7/2 = -3.5

Now, if we look at the options, the third option will give as the value of the x-coordinate as,

[(1/2)(-7-3)] + 3

= [(1/2)(-10)] + 3

= -5 + 3

= -2

This is the actual coordinate of the midpoint, therefore, this option is correct.

Similarly, the option two expresses the y-coordinate of the midpoint,

(-1 - 6)/2 = -3.5

Also, option five correctly depicts the value of y-coordinate,

-(5/2)-1 = -2.5 - 1 = -3.5

Hence, the correct options are 2, 3, and 5.

1. Which label should be used to describe the energy of the hammer in the first
Rudik [331]

Answer:

A. is the answer

Explanation:

The hammer in the first position is raised and ready to hit the nail on the head. This is called potential energy. It has a lot of energy stored inside of it but it won't get used until we allow it to hit the nail. That is why it is not kinetic energy but only potential. Think of it just as when we say something has the potential to do something.
