    The document discusses the Cylindrical Equal Area Projection map projection and provides an example problem. It asks to find the distance and bearing between points A (40° E, 20° N) and B (120° E, 60° N) on a map with a scale of 1:100 million. It shows the steps to calculate the reduced radius of the globe as 6.4 cm, the heights of the parallels as 2.86 cm and 7.24 cm, the length of line BD as 6.85 cm, and the distance of line AB as 8.13 cm.

    CYLINDRICAL EQUAL AREA PROJECTION
    Q. Find out the distance & bearing of Cylindrical
    Equal Area Projection (2 SP) point A (40° E, 20°
    N), point B (120° E, 60° N). R.F = 1 : 100 M
    (SP is 40° N & S)
     Answer
    Step 1: Radius of the generating globe
    reduced to the given scale,

    cm

    = 6.4 cm
    CYLINDRICAL EQUAL AREA PROJECTION
    Step 2: Height of 20° N parallel above the Equator,

    = 2.86 cm

    Height of 60° N parallel above the Equator,

    = 7.24 cm

    AD or BC = (7.24 – 2.86) cm

    = 4.38 cm
    CYLINDRICAL EQUAL AREA PROJECTION
    Step 3: Length of the line BD

    = 6.85 cm

    Step 4: Distance of the line AB

    = 8.13 cm

    & bearing of the line AB,
