Answer:

Well, of course, the land area encompassed by that portion of the continent of Africa which is north of the equator is something like twice as large as the portion which lies south of it. However the impression that the equator divides Africa equally is not without merit.

If one considers the distance of that continent’s north/south extremities from the equator one finds them to be fairly close in value. North is [math]2,560[/math] miles while south is [math]2,390[/math] miles…which makes a difference of [math]170[/math] miles. Since that is a mere [math]3.4[/math]% of the total length, the equator does visually split Africa “equally”.
