To check: Whether the corresponding distance on the polar map is the same as distance between
Answer to Problem 7CE
The corresponding distance on the polar map is not the same as the distance between
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Consider the given globe figure.
When the globe is converted to a flat map or plane, the maps gets distorted due to which distance appear to be longer on maps than on the globes.
Also, globe is 3-dimensional and map is 2-dimensional. The globe is converted from 3-D to 2-D plane. So, the distance between the points will change.
Thus, the corresponding distance on the polar map is not the same as the distance between
