Projections: The variance of discrepancies among three coordinate systems

I want to start off by saying this was a fun lab! I'm starting to get the hang of ArcMap much better! To make things better, my work schedule has been fine tuned and I am geared up and ready to do seriously better with map making and in this course overall.

What we have below are three individual maps from three different projection coordinate sytems: the UTM, State Plane, and Albers. Upon application of data derived from various datasets for Florida's 67 counties, we created 3 separate maps. From the look of my maps, you really can't see much of a discernible difference. However, once we pulled up the raw data we discovered a different story! When we dove in further to pull up data for Alachua, Escambia, Miami-Dade, and Polk counties, we discovered that each projection yielded greatly different amounts of land area, especially as you get down to Miami-Dade County. I learned from this lab that in the future when I want to make and analyses of Map projections, all systems have to be considered to arrive at the most accurate answer. Take a look at my maps below and also not the Excel table which has been inserted below the maps for the nitty gritty detail.
