Percentage of total Vancouver area which is in danger in the event of a tsunami:
By accessing the “Statistics” window for the attribute table for the Vancouver_Danger layer I found the sum of the “Shape_Area” to be 20314805.867912 m^2. By accessing the attribute table for the Vancouvermask layer I found the “Shape_Area” to be listed as 131033339.950334 m^2. As the Vancouvermask layer represents the total area of the City of Vancouver and the Vancouver_Danger layer represents the area affected in the event of a Tsunami we can calculate the percentage of the City of Vancouver’s total area which is in danger as:
[(20314805.867912 m^2)/(131033339.950334 m^2)] x 100%= 15.50353969%

To get these answers I used “selection by location” to select features from Vancouver_Healthcare and Vancouver_Education with the source layer of Vancouver_Danger. I then clicked on “Data” for each layer and used the “Export Data” function to export “selected features” and create a new layer for each of the healthcare and education facilities within the Vancouver danger zone. I checked the results visibly by turning on and off the selected features in the Vancouver_Healthcare and Vancouver_Education layers.
