An ArcGIS user is viewing a feature layer that is being displayed in a projected coordinate system that uses meters as the units. The user needs to see the map coordinates displayed in the status bar as nautical miles.

How can the units be changed without changing the coordinate system?

A. change the output coordinates in the Environment Settings

B. change the units used for distance in the Measure tool

C. change the display units of the feature layer

A. bar

B. histogram

C. area

D. polar

E. scatter plot

F. bubble

An ArcGIS user is analyzing a map containing several high quality data layers. The layers are defined in several different coordinate systems in the same data frame. However, due to the high quality of the data, all features line up with each other almost exactly.

When the user adds a new dataset all features appear to shift to the north by a nearly identical distance. The new dataset is assigned to a different coordinate system than any of the layers that line up correctly.

What are two possible reasons for the features shifting? (Choose two)

A. ArcMap's on-the-fly projection is introducing random error in the new dataset

B. The new dataset is assigned to the wrong projected coordinate system

C. The wrong geographic transformation is used to protect the new dataset

D. The new datasets geometry is more accurate than the other layers in the map

E. The map projection required to project the new dataset is outdated
