thank you so much! ive been stuck on this question foever

Answer 5

i just read this somewhere........

The Mercator is the most common projection used in maritime navigation, primarily because rhumb lines plot as straight lines.

In a simple conic projection, points on the surface of the earth are transferred to a tangent cone. In the Lambert conformal projection, the cone intersects the earth (a secant cone) at two small circles. In a polyconic projection, a series of tangent cones is used
