To find: Whether the polar map gets preserve or distort distances.
Answer to Problem 8CE
The polar maps gets distorted distances.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Consider the given globe figure.
The globe is converted to a flat map or plane it means that the 3 dimensional is converted to a 2 dimensional shape. The map gets distorted due to which the distance appear to be longer on map than on the globe.
Therefore, the polar map does not preserve distances, so they can easily get distorted.
