(2 points) Why is the Mercator projection unsuitable for classroom use? Of the remaining four projections, which map projection would be the most appropriate for classroom use? Justify your answer. (For this answer write no more than four sentences.) 3. (3 points, 2 point for each map sheet) Export both of your projection sheets as .png (portable network graphics) files and insert them in your answer sheet. 1. (8 points, 1 point for each cell). The map you have opened is of the 48 contiguous US states with selected cities connected by rhumb lines (you can find the definition of rhumb lines in the readings and presentation). Select any two origin (from) and destination (to) cities connected by a rhumb line. Use only these two cities in filling out the table. After you have selected your two cities, Google the distance between them. You will use this distance to compare your distance reading readings using the projections listed in the table. Fill in values for direction and distance using the projections in the first column in the table below.

( 3 points, point for each map sheet) Export both of your projection sheets as .png (portable network graphics) files and insert them in your answer sheet. 1. ( 8 points, 1 point for each cell). The map you have opened is of the 48 contiguous US states with selected cities connected by rhumb lines (you can find the definition of thumb lines in the readings and presentation). Select any two origin (from) and destination (to) cities connected by a thumb line. Use only these two cities in filling out the table. After you have selected your two cities, Google the distance between them. You will use this distance to compare your distance reading readings using the projections listed in the table. Fill in values for direction and distance using the projections in the first column in the table below.
