Airida [17]

The false statement is -  B. This map projection does not distort shapes.

The map shown on the image is a Mollweide projection map. This is a map that has an elliptical shape, unlike most of the maps that have a rectangular shape. It is a map that pretty accurately manages to depict the Earth's continents with their right sizes.

Unfortunately, it can not be said that the map is without flaws. It is a map that has distortions, as all the others do, but it is still a map where the distortions are very small, thus the depiction is much accurate than on most of the other map projections.

guajiro [1.7K]
<span>Using the formula 1/2*b*h for the area of a triangle, we get 7.8 cm^2 as the area of the base. Now let us assume that the three faces of the pyramid are of the same dimensions. So by subtracting 7.8 from the total surface area and dividing by 3, we get a face area of 29.6 cm^2. We get a height of 19.73 cm (using a "base" of 3 cm). Using half of the face of the pyramid (a right triangle) and applying some trigonometry (19.73 cm/sin 60) we get 22.78 cm as the slant height of the pyramid.</span>
