Explanation:

When Ivan gave the speech about global warming, he talked about an iceberg that measured about 2,200 square miles. This large measurement or numerical data might have been hard for those in the audience to relate to as not all of them may be good with measurements.

Ivan made this figure relatable to the audience when he compared the size of the iceberg to Delaware a city in America that most in the audience were acquainted with. By so doing, he allowed the audience to visualize the large statistics.
