According to the article, the pancake map is better than 2D maps made in the past. Which paragraph BEST supports this idea?
Group of answer choices

) Creating accurate 2D maps has troubled map makers for centuries. To help determine the various problems flat maps face, Gott worked with David Goldberg, a professor of physics at Drexel University in Philadelphia. In 2007, they published a system that rates existing flat maps.

Their system scored 2D maps on their deformations, or distortions. It scored six types of distortions: local shapes, areas, distances, flexion (bending, or distortions of curves), skewness (lopsidedness), and boundary cuts (gaps in landmasses or water, like splitting the Pacific Ocean). Maps that received lower scores were more accurate. A globe, which is spherical like the Earth, would earn perfect scores of zero.

Flat maps are good at representing one thing but not others. Take the world map most people are familiar with — the Mercator projection. This map is good at representing local shapes, it distorts surface areas near the North and South Poles, so these regions are often chopped off.

) The pancake map also has smaller distance errors than any other 2D flat map. For instance, its layout means distances cannot be more or less than 22.2 percent of what they are in reality, Gott said. In comparison, the Mercator and Winkel Tripel projections have remarkably high distance errors near the poles and at the left and right edges of the map.

Answer 1

Answer: The pancake map also has smaller distance errors than any other 2D flat map. For instance, its layout means distances cannot be more or less than 22.2 percent of what they are in reality, Gott said. In comparison, the Mercator and Winkel Tripel projections have remarkably high distance errors near the poles and at the left and right edges of the map.

Step-by-step explanation:

A better map is one that has less errors and can locate areas more accurately. The paragraph above shows that the Pancake map has less errors and is generally accurate for areas within a 22.2% band.

This means that it is better than 2D maps made in the past especially the Mercator and Winkel Tripel projections which have some very significant distance errors especially in relation to the poles and the edges of the map.

Manuel bought 9 pounds of apples.
He has eaten 3
4 of a pound so far and has
$15 worth of apples left. Write and solve an
equation to find the cost of the apples per
pound to the nearest dollar. How much did
the apples cost per pound?

Answers

Answer:

1) Since Manuel bought 9 pounds and ate 3/4 of 1 pound, he has 8.25 pounds left   (9  - 0.75  = 8.25)

 2) Let's call "x" the cost of 1 pound of apples

 3) (8.25)*(x) = $15

 4) x = $1.81818    rounded to the nearest dollar is $2 / pound

Is 0.3 the multiplicative inverse of 3 1/3? Why or why not?

Chapter : Rational Numbers ​

Answers

Answer:

3 1/3 = 10/3

0.3 = 3/10

a * 1/a =1

then 1/a is multiplicative inverse of a

0.3* 3 1/3 = 3/10 * 10/3 =1

0.3 is multiplicative inverse of 3 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

3 1/3 = 10/3

10.3 = 0.3 = 3 1/3

x * 1/x = 1

∴ yes, the multiplicative reverse of 3 1/3 is 0.3

The length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters less than 2 times the width.
a. Write a polynomial expression that represents ( 2 points )
the area of the rectangle.Simplify the expression.

Answers

Given:

The length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters less than 2 times the width.

To find:

The polynomial expression that represents the area of the rectangle, then simplify the expression.

Solution:

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the width of the rectangle.

The length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters less than 2 times the width.

2 times the width = [tex]2x[/tex]

5 centimeters less than 2 times the width = [tex]2x-5[/tex]

Length of the rectangle = [tex]2x-5[/tex]

We know that, the area of a rectangle is:

[tex]A=length \times width[/tex]

[tex]A=(2x-5)\times x[/tex]

[tex]A=2x^2-5x[/tex]

Therefore, the required polynomial expression is [tex]A=(2x-5)\times x[/tex] and its simplified form is [tex]A=2x^2-5x[/tex].

Henry can write 5 pages of his novel in 4 hours. At this rate, how many pages can Henry write in 8 hours?

Answers

Answer:

Henry can write 10 pages in 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our unit rate (number of pages in a given number of hours) is

5 pages

--------------

   4 hrs

It is not necessary to perform the indicated division.  Just multiply this unit rate by '8 hours':

5 pages

-------------- * 8 hrs = 10 pages

   4 hrs

Henry can write 10 pages in 8 hours.

10 pages if he can write 5 pages in 4 hours then you double that for 8 hours

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is that you cannot be sure that either triangle (it actually requires both of them) contain a right angle

What you have so far is SSA which is not one of the fundamental congruency triangles. In order to be certain of congruency the angle must be made up of the 2 given sides. You are certain that SAS will produce congruency. You are not so sure of  r SSA. There are proofs of this on the internet. I urge you to look into it. Though not long, following it step by step takes a lot of patience. A cup of strong coffee is a good idea.

Car rental agencey a charges $50 per day plus 10 cents per mile driven agency b charges $20 per day plus 30 cents per mile driven for a one day rental it is cheaper to rent from ange a if you drive more

Answers

Answer:

D) 150 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

The Cost of  the car rental agency of A is $50 + 0.10 per mile

The Cost of  the car rental agency of B is $20 + 0.30 per mile

Here we assume the per mile be x

Now we equate these equations

SO,

$50 + 0.10x = $20 + 0.30x

$30 = 0.20x

x = 150

SO it would be more than 150 miles
