the longitudinal and latitudinal extent of India is equal but in kilometres east qest extend is smaller than north south extend why is it so

Answer 1

coz india is longer than its width so
Hope this helps!!!!
Plz mark mine the brianliest!!!!

Answer 2

hey bro, see here

North - South extent means the latitudinal extent. The latitudes are drawn at an interval of 1° which shows a distance of 111km approximately. 111 km distance between the latitudes are maintained throughout the globe as the latitudes run parralel to each other and are full circles. 

The East - West extent means the longitudinal extent. The longitudes are drawn at an interval of 1° which shows a distance of 110 km approximately. This distance is maintained near the equator but it becomes smaller as we move near to the poles as the longitudes are semi circles and never run parrallely throughout the globe. 

So the latitudinal extent which represents North - South distance, 3214 km is longer than the East - West extent i.e. the longitudinal extent, 2933 km.
