The mapmakers have to make this choice because of the shape of our planet and because there is still not a method as to how to have both the land shapes and distances to be precise at the same time.
The shape of the earth is the factor that is not allowing (at least for now) that we have both correct land shapes and precise distances on the maps of the Earth. Because the Earth has a rounded shape, as we move further away from the Equator, the shapes are deforming more and more, or rather they are stretching more and more which makes them appear much bigger than they actually are, thus giving us an unrealistic picture of the size of some of the places on our planet.
Answer:
Tropic of Capricorn
Explanation:
The Tropic of Capricorn which is also known as the Southern tropic is the furthest direction south of the Equator where the Sun can be located vertically overhead as it the location of the subsolar point at the southern solstice. In the middle of June, the Tropic of Capricorn reaches a position of an angle of 90° below the horizon at midnight
The latitude of the Tropic of Capricorn is 23°26'11.8'' south of the Equator, while the location of the Tropic of Capricorn is shifting northward at a rate of 15 meters annually.
Answer: y=-3
Explanation:
Equation of a line that passes through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-
The equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,-3) and (3,-3) :
Hence, the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,-3) and (3,-3) : y=-3
