What property of a shapefile should an analyst be aware of when creating statistics from numeric fields? Answer Shapefiles CANNOT store currency values. A GIS analyst is editing several feature classes associated with city utilities. The analyst selects a line feature class that represents the city's gas main, and opens Create Features. By default, which type of features are created? Answer Polylines An ArcMap user needs to inspect the geometry and attribute schema properties of a file g...

The backlink raster is a cost direction surface created when you run the Cost Path tool.  False What are the units of measure for cell values in a Euclidean (straight-line) distance surface?  X The units you specify If you want the software to reclassify your raster values into new values based on a standard classification method, which of the following options would you use?  X Reclassify based on a table If you were trying to allocate cells in a raster to a source and determin...

The three basic components of an attribute query are the attribute field, operator, and attribute value. feature  A representation of a real-world object on a GIS map. geographic coordinates  A measurement of a location on the earth's surface expressed in degrees of latitude and longitude. GIS  Acronym for geographic information system. An integrated system of data, software, hardware, peopl...

Feature Class to Feature Class  Converts a shapefile, coverage feature class, or geodatabase feature class to a shapefile or geodatabase feature class. Truncate Data  This python tool can be used to replace field names or data with (_) or other corrections. Extremely helpful when importing tabular data. Swipe Function  This tool can be used to compare layers such as yearly obesity from one year to the next using a swipe. Infographics  Geoenrichment data available through...

basemap  A map depicting locational reference information, such as landforms, roads, landmarks, and political boundaries. feature  A representation of a real-world object on a map. GIS  Geographic information system. GIS uses interactive maps to analyze data and help answer questions about the world. layer  A collection of related features in a GIS map. The features in a layer usually have the same theme, geometry, and set of attributes. For example, a GIS layer might u...

If you are evaluating a road network and want to make sure that all of the roads consist of straight lines and 90-degree angles, which two data checks could you choose?  The two checks that would fulfill these requirements are Nonlinear Segment and Cutbacks. The Nonlinear Segment check evaluates each segment in a polyline or polygon feature to determine whether it contains curves or arcs. With the Cutbacks check, you can specify a minimum allowable angle; any angle less than the mini...
