Actual exam question for Esri's EADP19-001 exam

Question #: 51
Topic #: 10

Data in the state of Louisiana has the projection defined as WGS 1984 UTM Zone 15S. The user knows that this area of Louisiana is located m UTM Row S. When added to ArcMap with other data that draws in the correct location the data with the Zone 15S definition draws in the vicinity of the North Pole.

What is wrong with the projection definition?

AThe 'S' indicates south of the equator instead of UTM Row S

BThe false northing value should be 0. not 10000000

CThe latitude of origin should be -80 degrees, not 0

DThe units should be feet instead of meters

If this data was any further north, it'd be in the North Pole's Santa's workshop. Talk about a projection problem!

Feet instead of meters? This isn't the metric system Olympics, folks. It's gotta be the units.

Wait, the North Pole? That's definitely not right. I'm guessing the latitude of origin is the problem here.

That makes sense. The latitude of origin being at 0 would definitely cause it to draw near the North Pole.

Hmm, the false northing value of 10000000 seems a bit high for this area. I bet that's the issue.

User 2: That makes sense, it's probably causing the data to draw near the North Pole.

The 'S' in the projection definition is throwing me off. I thought UTM zones were numbered north and south of the equator, not based on row.

I believe the false northing value should be 0, not 10000000. That could be causing the issue with the data drawing in the wrong location.

I agree with Brendan. The 'S' in Zone 15S should indicate UTM Row S, not south of the equator.

I think the projection definition is wrong because the data is drawing near the North Pole.
