3. which of the following statements about the Mercator is (are) true?

Woah I actually know this. xD

1. The Mercator projection was named after its inventor Gerardus Mercator in 1569. It was designed for travel by ship and then some fool took it and decided to use it to teach students geography which was incorrect as the projection is extremely distorted at the N and S poles. It wasn't until the 70s (I think?) that the Gall-Peters Projection was introduced to replace the mercator projection. So if you ever see a map with Greenland as big as Brazil, you know that is a Mercator Projection, your teacher doesn't know what they are talking about, and the cake is a lie!
