Answer:

1. Maps Simplify Complicated Information

Maps take complex data sets and display them in a pleasing graphic you can use to answer questions about your world.

Imagine that you’re back in elementary school and you ask your teacher to show you how big the United States is compared to other countries. She nods her head, walks over to the spring roller, and pulls down a huge spreadsheet that lists each country and their areas. Huh?!?!

Maps are a visual representation of complicated data. Some may think maps are unnecessary and complicated tools, but in reality, maps simplify your life.

2. Maps Can Save Your Life

According to The National Park Service (NPS), there are more than 300 million people visiting national parks, forests, and wilderness areas every year. Spoiler alert, cell signals don’t extend to all these areas and maps may be the only reference you’ll have in an emergency.

If there’s flooding near you, you’ll need to know how to get to the closest high elevation. If an injury happens, you’ll need to get to the nearest high traffic area for help. If a bear cuts off your path, you’ll need to find an alternate….fast.

So don’t get caught out there holding your phone to the sky begging for a signal. A paper map may actually save your life.

Situational factors are always outside of our control and sometimes it would heavily affect our life.

What is the smallest number that looks prime but isn't?
algol [13]

It is 1 which appears to be a prime number however it's neither a prime number or a composite number since it has just a single factor which is itself.  

A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose just factors are 1 and itself. A factor is a whole numbers that can be partitioned evenly into another number. The initial couple of prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 and 29.
