Answer to Question 1

Answer: Title, date, legend, scale, direction, and location. Include a definition of each.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: This is the classic problem for the mapmaker. A map cannot preserve both shape and relative size. A cartographer must choose one or the other, or neither. Many times there must be a compromise between the two properties.
