Esri EADA10 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 1:

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  E. The map projection required to project the new dataset is outdated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

• Question 2:

  An ArcGIS user needs to provide a person outside the user's organization a layer file along with its data. How can this be accomplished in ArcGIS Desktop?

  A. use the Export as XML Workspace Document tool in ArcCatalog
  B. use the Save as Layer tool in ArcMap
  C. use the Export as Layer tool in ArcCatalog
  D. use the Create a Layer Package tool in ArcMap
  D. use the Create a Layer Package tool in ArcMap

• Question 3:

  What are three ways for an ArcGIS user to create a new file geodatabase in ArcGIS Desktop? (Choose three)

  A. Create new file geodatabase in ArcCatalog
  B. Use the New File Geodatabase tool from the Editor toolbar
  C. Use the Command Line window
  D. Create File GDB tool in ArcToolbox
  E. Create file geodatabase in Windows Explorer
  A. Create new file geodatabase in ArcCatalog
  C. Use the Command Line window
  D. Create File GDB tool in ArcToolbox

• Question 4:

  A data frame in ArcMap is displaying layers from several different coordinate systems in a worldwide geographic coordinate system. There are several geographic coordinate system transformations listed in

  the Geographic Coordinate Systems Transformations dialog box. One of the transformations being used is inappropriate and must be changed.

  How can the ArcGIS user change the transformation?

  A. open the Layer Properties dialog box for each layer using the transformation and change the transformation for the layer
  B. select Transformations from the main menu in ArcMap and change the transformation for the map document
  C. open the Data Frame Properties dialog box and change the transformation for the data frame
  D. for each data source using the transformation change the transformation in the Catalog window and then reload the
  C. open the Data Frame Properties dialog box and change the transformation for the data frame

• Question 5:

  What is the result of applying a relate in ArcMap to a stand-alone table and a layer attribute table?

  A. It will define the relationship between them
  B. It will append the associated data to the layer's attribute table
  C. It will append the layer's attribute table to the associated data
  D. It will create a new feature class containing the layer's attributes and associated data
  A. It will define the relationship between them

• Question 6:

  B. select from the currently selected features in City Polygons that completely contain the Road Lines
  C. select from the currently selected features in Road Lines that are identical to City Polygons
  D. remove from the currently selected features in City Polygons that are within a distance of Road Lines with a search distance of 100 feet
