Problem Statement
The flag of the United Nations consists of a polar map of the world, with the North Pole as its center, extending to approximately South Latitude. The parallels of latitude are concentric circles with radii proportional to their co-latitudes. Australia is near the periphery of the map and is intersected by the parallel of latitude S.In the very close vicinity of this parallel how much are East and West distances exaggerated as compared to North and South distances?
