Transformation & Projections??

[CaraMays]

The following projection was what the shapefile was sent to me in.

GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]]

When I add the shapefile to the map the peojection is undefined.

I am trying to have the Data Source set to NAD 1986 StatePlane Kansas South.

What exactly do I need to do to get the shapefiles to be projected in the same extent?

Any help would be great. Thank you.

If it is showing up as undefined and you know the correct coordinate system, use the Define Projection tool to set the correct cs.

I used the "define projection" tool to set the coordinate system to my desired projection. Unfortunately the shapefiles still are not lining up. Looking at the layer properties I can only see the extent being different such as
-95.122363 ft and 38.3265 ft for one shapefile and much larger numbers such as 12563653.1236 for the other shapefile.

Does this make sense? Basically I defined the projection and am still having trouble.
